Ron O Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I just dropped off the 400 and they gave me a 330 to drive. What a difference! I immediately felt it in the transmittion and n the ride. I am really convinced that the 400s are considerably ahead in driving pleasure and response to the OLD technology of the RX 330. Forget the fuel savings – I would pay the difference in price just for the pleasure of the driving response of the 400. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I think he's talking about the CVT mainly. I also notice the shifting in my car after driving the Prius. CVT technology is definately the future and feels much more natural than a conventional transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if you have about 28K, a C5 like mine will spoil you for life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX400h Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Driven the new C6 yet? ;) ← Not yet, but I would love to drive the new Z06 (505 HP). Then again, maybe I shouldn't (cost $70,000)! The nice thing about the C6s is the NAV option. I'm kinda spoiled when I use the RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
