When Was Your 400h Manufactured?

[speedyg]

To you fellow RX 400h owners: I am curious, when was your vehicle manufactured? The metal plate inside of the driver's door indicates that mine was made in March 2005 in Japan. Weren't the 400h's originally supposed to hit dealers last year? Seems to me that means that there are some old (manufactured in 2004) RX 400h's out there. I wonder where they ended up

I'm not sure what point in the process determines the date they put on the plate. Remember one of the stories on the final delay was a fit and finish problem with a dash component. They had to wait for replacement parts (or reworked parts?). If they didn't consider the manufacture finished until they had installed the part, there may have been a time when there were a bunch of these cars waiting around for that final touch. Hence the slew of March 05 manufacture dates. Our limited data so far seems to support that assumption.
