I'm taking delivery of my '10 350 soon. What exactly is the auto a/c recirc mode and how will I know if I have it or not? I ordered NAV also.

you will know if you have it if one of the two icons for recirculation says 'Auto'--witht the non-recirulation version you will have two icons with the standard two icons that show an outline of a car with a little arrow in each--now I'm concerned as to why mine did not show up with this feature--the car was ordered when I bought it, so it wasn't sitting on the lot. Just so everyone is aware, this feature is the automatic smog sensing feature, which will change to recirculation mode when you are in a garage, tunnel, behind a bus etc.
Anybody have any suggestions on what I should do? Obviously this is a component of the vehicle so I can't see the dealer installing it after market...I wonder if Lexus decided to put this in the Luxury pkg recently (which you can't seem to get here in New England)

I find the front seat cushions to be too short and too narrow for me. The side bolsters are firm and I get sore if I drive it more than an hour or so. I bought a chair pad that matches the interior color and when I am on a trip I sit on it...big help. I should mention that I am 6'3" and I think the seat cushions were designed for a shorter person.

I bought a gizmo that fits in the cup holder and has has 2 inputs. So I can plug in my GPS and Radar detector without fumbling around in that dark deep console. I think Lexus should have at least included a light in there so you could see the ports.
By the way my 2010 has been perfect...no problems with the front bumper, no wind noises etc. I just wish the front seats were more comfortable and the outlets were not so hard to reach. Overall it's been totally trouble free.

Do me a huge favor please. Send me the specifics on where to buy the chair pad you describe. I'm picking up the car in a couple weeks and I'm real concerned about what I'm hearing about the seats. My email is bruce.litzkow gmail.com

I originally posted a concern with the comfort of the front seats right before I bought my RX. I've now had the car for about 3 weeks and driven it about 400 miles. I've taken 3 100 mile trips, with the rest being city driving. I have to say, that they are not nearly as uncomfortable as I feared. I think a lot of what I had read made me hyper-concerned, as my 05 had super comfortable seats. I have had no issues with seat comfort whatsoever, so I am quite relieved. I will say that the quality of the leather is a tad inferior than older models though. I really wish I had the option to get the semi-aniline leather, but then again, not sure it would be worth the premium for the luxury package. Just thought I'd post my own experience now that I've had a chance to drive the car for a while. hope this helps...

Could you give me the exact name of the gizmo that you bought for your 2010 RX? I think that may come in handy for me in the future if I purchase the new RX. My '07 RX has two power outlets in the front. Is there only one on the new RX? If that's the case, I'm not going to be a very happy camper, because like you, I sat in a 2010 at the auto show, and, boy, you have to dig deep to get to that power outlet that's inside the console. What in the world was Lexus thinking by designing it this way???
Also, as far as the seats go in the new RX, I have to say out of all the vehicles I sat in at the auto show, the 2010 RX had the plushest, most comfy seats of them all. Of course, it was a hybrid model, so I don't know if maybe the hybrids are getting a softer leather than the gasoline model.

It is called " Twin USB and 12V Cupholder Adapter" and I got it from AutoSportCatalog.com. I have it in the cupholder closest to me and plugged into the outlet inside the console. It cost $19.95.

Thanks, Pec1970. I will definitely keep the adapter in mind if I end up getting the 2010 RX when my lease is up.
