ramblnman Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 I was planning to buy a 2008 RX 400H when they supposedly hit the showroom around November. However, I just read an article on Edmunds Insight saying that the completely redesigned 2009 models will be on the market Spring 2008. Why would I buy a new 2008 to see it supplanted by a newer 2009 model in 4-5 months?

I knew that dyslexia would pay off some day ;) I had to read it 4 time before I even noticed what you were getting at... but it does work, doesn't it? That's what I get for posting before I've had my caffeine. Anyways, found this link... which most of us have seen already http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Featu...rticleId=116536 If you need to carry 7 people and are willing to wait, then the 2009 RX hybrid is what you want.
Robl45 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 thing is you can go to zapworld.com and check out the zapX that should be out around the end of 2009. seats 5, does zero to 60 in 5 seconds and gets 350 miles to the charge. Yes its all electric. Its supposed to be like 60K. Why would anyone want to buy a hybrid at that point that gets 25 mpg if you are lucky? I love my 2006 rx400H NOW, but later, I will be buying an electric vehicle. IMHO, don't wait, buy now or wait and get something better.
Husker4theSpurs Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 IF they do make an '08 RX 400h (which I believe they will) they may just keep it through the early introduction of the new gas-powered RX line that comes out in April 2008 and bring out the hybrid that fall ... just a thought?
SOMEONE ELSE'S GOT MY NAME Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Whether the sneek peek pic's even look like the final / real deal is a crap shoot. If the RX re-design is anything like the recent release of the Highlander? Forget about it. Man, that pig looks like a mis shaped jelly bean. http://www.canadiandriver.com/galleries/20...album&id=37 Ir is it just me. :D
Rx330driver Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 lol not just you. if lexus follows through with what it usually does, it will be much much more easy on the eyes.

rockitogden Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I would trade mine in for this one, then people might stop asking me why am I driving my sisters car!
