2009 Rx 400h


Recommended Posts

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 liked the (unintentional?) play on words there, sky! :D

Ha! 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

If you need to carry 7 people and are willing to wait, then the 2009 RX hybrid is what you want.

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.

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?

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.

I like it and it looks way better than the current Highlander.
