Looks like the only invoice pricing we have for an '09 Lexus are the RX 350 models. link
 
And along about August the 2010's will come out, and in November they'll announce the 2011 models. Model year creep is in full force.

I was wondering if the Sport model in Comfort mode will make a difference. From what I hear, the sport model makes the ride stiffer in sport mode, but it's COMFORT mode is the same as the MDX non sport model. Can anyone offer opinions?

The noise is coming from your front lower control arms - Unfortunately it will get worse over time. There is no fix for it. I had the same problem and got rid of my 07 MDX for this and other reasons. I understand the 08's have the same problem.
 
They replaced the front suspension on mine and the noise stopped for 2 months but came back even worse. It gets to the point that the front end will make cracking noises every time you stop, accelerate or turn the steering wheel. It is also quite embarrassing when people comment and ask what the cracking noises are.

Auto Entry Assit? by seltz

Hi, all.
 
We just took delivery of our 2008 MDX with tech. We are coming from a 2005 Murano. Wow! What a difference! Question: with the Murano, you can set the power front seat so that when you open the door, it moves back a bit to help getting in. Does the MDX have this function?

Yoy can set the rear view side mirrors. the steering wheel height and location, and seat, AFTER you insert the key that was programmed for that specific person. When you shut the engine, the steering wheel will retract. I have not experienced the seat moving backwards.

Body Side Molding and Rear Sensors by dakineguy

Question for those that own a 2008 MDX...
 
What do you think of the body side molding? Does it really protect against door dings?
 
Does anyone have the rear sensors installed with the Nav? Does it help catch those instances in which a person or object move across the rear of your MDX and can't be caught in time by the rearview camera?

I have nav with rear camera and still installed rear sensors. I wouldn't be without them. Camera is OK, but things are way our of proportion. There is no ability to judge distance. The sensors work great in conjunction with the camera. For me, it is a must. Now, I am still trying to find a source for folding electric side mirrors. Once I do that, I'll be happy!

For best protection, get the BSM AND Sport running boards. You can't protect against every car, but they will catch a percentage of would be dings. Also, the sport running boards look cool and act as giant mud flaps. Most rocks, rock salt, mud, etc. get caught on the boards instead of your side panels.
 
As far as the camera goes, it works great, but you have to use common sense. I had one in my 4 runner, and you will NEVER hit an object if you are careful. You have to realize that the objects do appear further away, this is just plain common sense. You're not suppose to slam on the accellerator and only look at the camera, just take it slow. There are blind spots on the rear corners, but the camera still works great. the sensors are good too, but I hear they beep when you're 6 inches away.

My '04 MDX was a ding magnet. Finally had the BSM put on (it took dealership 3 tries, bad glue) and we have been ding free ever since. Now our '07 MDX hasn't accumulated the dings for unknown reasons (no BSM).
 
As for the backup camera, it takes too long to "boot up" for my taste, I would rather see sensors.
