idahoreb Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Has anyone been able to find a site for the new 2008 RX 400h? I am trying to find the Brandy Wine Mica color patch. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus411 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 should be up on the Lexus website sometime next month when they add the 08 RX 350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husker4theSpurs Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have heard that the 400h is NOT receiving the re-fresh that the RX 350 is ... at least not as an early 2008 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idahoreb Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 correct correct So does that mean that the 2008 400h will not come in the updated Brandy wine color or that it will not come in the color for the early releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizarD of AhS Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Will the new 2008 400H share the larger platform of the new Highlander? According to the Toyota website, the new Highlander is somewhat larger than earlier models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 yes, both the new RX and the 400h (redesign in 2008 as 2009 model) will most likely get the platform that the highlander and the camry are using... however, i hope they dont, cause that means its going to be a hand-me-down from toyota to lexus and not the other way around... if lexus really wanted to get some prestige, they should make their own platforms.

Vehicle "platforms" cost tens-to-hundreds of millions of dollars to develop - I'm not sure if you're aware of that. Every Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, Audi, Cadillac and Chrysler will forever share a platform with lesser vehicles. It allows you and I to have luxury at the prices you see today - if the RX was a standalone it would cost, well, what a Bentley or Maybach costs.

Rx330driver Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 well, even if you and i know that, lexus bashers dont. for a long time mercedes benz had their own platforms for their own cars. They are now hand-me-downs to chryslers. but before that, mercedes were mercedes' platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wwerner Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 well, even if you and i know that, lexus bashers dont. for a long time mercedes benz had their own platforms for their own cars. They are now hand-me-downs to chryslers. but before that, mercedes were mercedes' platforms. There is the Crossfire using the former SLK platform which is not in use for Mercedes anymore. I don't know if there are other Chrysler using old Mercedes platforms (I doubt). There is defintely no Mercedes car using a Chrysler platform. Why do you think the US car industry are in trouble so much? Because they produce good quality and up to date technology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
