I am considering buying a 2005 RX 330, but am wondering, has anyone heard what will be new on the 2006 model? Any new additions/ changes? Just curious if I should wait or not. Thanks!

While test driving the RX 330 the other day, the dealer tried to demo the nav system. I personally thought it was a bit confusing. Also I did not care for the fact that you have to be stopped to put in the info. I test drove the Acura TL ( Yes, I know we are not comparing apples to apples), but I felt their nav system was much easier to use. Plus it had over 7M points of interest compared to 3M of the Lexus. Like anything in life, I am sure I would get used to it. But any thoughts out there on how easy the Lexus system is? Pros? Cons? Thanks for your input!!

Has anyone out there used the Costco Auto Program to buy a Lexus RX 330? If so, what was your experience like? Did you get the car and options that you wante? Was it a "deal?"

Today, I test drive an RX 330. The dealer was nice enough to allow me to drive it home as we thought that when the rear hatch is open it might not fit in our garage. Sure enough, our garage door height is about 2" too short for the hatch to fully extend. We could apply some type of "cushion/ foam" to the inside of the garage door, so as not to scratch the car. But I wonder what the long term affect would be on the car and the part that moves the hatch? Has anyone out there had this problem? And or what you did to solve this problem? Is the hatch extension height "modifable" by the dealer?
