Well, congratulation.
Do you have any concern on the door design?
I looked at the 2010 RX350 at autoshow and found the door to ground clearance is very small compare to previous year model - almost 5 inch lower. Because of this, I bought 2009 since the door likely hit snow bank or curves etc more often. Furthermore, the rear door is a part of rear wheel fender, no protection from dirt from rear wheels. Otherwise 2010 looks great. I hope you enjoy with the new RX.

NAV System by ajmtbm

I sat in a 2010 RX with and without Nav. Very nice improvement. The NAV controller was a bit odd, but i can see getting used to it. 2 questions
 
1. The NAV is hard drive based, but i didn't see a way to save music files on it. Can it rip CD's to the hard drive? if not, i think Lexus goofed big time on this one - all the competitors have this as an option.
2. Is the NAV system still crippled when driving?

I saw the RX at the Chicago Auto Show and did not like the new interior. Everybody seems to want to copy the BMW I-Drive concept that I find user-unfriendly. I currently own a 2004 with 107K and will plan to keep another 4-5 years based on what I saw coming. My 2nd Gen model was a great improvement from the 1st Gen. series. I feel lexus pushed the innovation thing too far. I have a HUD on my 06 Vette and find it more distracting than helpful so this feature is worthless to me.

Microsoft Zune vs. Ipod by brianbjg

I know that the ipod will interface nicely with the 2010 RX350. Does anyone know if the Microsoft Zune will work the same, or will I be stuck with simply using the audio input function?
Thanks,....

1. You can rip a CD to the HDD. It even has a gracenote CDDB database that identifies your CD's. Only pressed Audio discs are recognized by the CDDB. No Homemade discs since they don't have the special metadata. Gracenote CDDB updates are free under warranty so get them done. They update them a few times a year. Only takes about 5 to 10 minutes but you have to get them done at the dealer.
 
Same with Map updates. The Gen5/Gen6 HDD navigation systems have to be updated at the dealer since they require special equipment and software that you can't buy. Map Updates of course you have to pay for them and they take about 30 minutes to an hour. Shouldn't take no more than 45 minutes.
 
2. Yes but there is an override kit from Prestigious Society. That kit is based on a Japanese kit and I'm sure they're willing to test it on a 2010 RX with nav. It does a lot of cool stuff. It does require a dashboard mounted controller. It's expensive but worth it.

Has anyone driven the car for a few hundred miles? Any thoughts or comparison to pre 2010 models?

mileage for 2010 RX 350 by tyler70

any 2010 RX 350 owners out there can tell me what they think about mileage on this new model. I love the car but I am still a little concerned about the price and mileage. I am going to wait a few more months hopefully the price will drop. also, I had a toy 4 runner and the mileage on that car is horrible. I am afraid that this lexus is the same. any comments?

If one of your primary concerns is FE I would look seriously at the new Venza with the new I4 engine and F/awd as an option.
 
I think I'm going to stretch the life of my '01 F/awd RX300 until there is a HYBRID Venza using the new engine but with DFI and Atkinson mode.

But the RX350, which is a crossover SUV, will get better gas mileage than a 4Runner. The RX doesn't have as much towing ability as the 4Runner.
