Excellent!! I thought so. Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately my new RX has been delayed. The dealer low balled me big time on my trade-in. I was prepaired for a little bit of a loss but holy crap!! Anyway the sales person is working with me, my truck is in the paper and a bunch of sites and as soon as it sells my new RX will be ready and waiting for me.

Well really checked it out last night and test drove it and absolutely LOVE it. It's amazing. Gas mileage? WHO CARES!! Ha ha, kidding. I'm coming out of a 2003 4Runner with a V8 so it's going to be a big increase over that as far as gas mileage goes. So that's it, I'm buying it. Now all I have to do is sell my 4Runner. Unfortunately the trade in value was much much less than what it's worth and I’m not willing to take that kind of hit. By the way if there are any of you here in New Jersey interested in a Lexus go see Cal Hargrove at Prestige Lexus in Ramsey. Great guy, honest, up front, VERY knowledgeable and helpful and it looks like their prices are the best around. I originally told him what I wanted to pay for the car and what I wanted for my 4Runner and though he wasn't able to meet my requirements for the 4Runner he didn't bull*BLEEP* me. He told me straight up that it’s best if I sell it privately and told me as soon as I sell it to come see him and he'll get me a good price. I was looking for over 2 grand off sticker so it looks like he’s willing to do that and if he truly is then he’ll have my business.

While I agree with the others about not watching while driving I can understand why you are asking. Check this out. http://www.vaistech.com/ ← Oh that's great, thanks!! My next question was how to integrate my iPod. Nice!!!

Cheers mate! Yea I figured and thought that it would be a very capable snow/bad weather vehicle. I mean what's the point of all wheel drive if it isn't? That's really my only concern though. I mean coming out of my 4Runner Limited which will go through and over anything. Ha ha and yea I'll never do ANY off roading with it and certainaly no rock climing. Thanks!!

Hey thanks for all the info. I agree with you, there are some differences and some things that i'll have to get use to but i'm sure i'll love it. I've heard nothing but amazing things about it. The only negative are people complaining about fuel mileage but it's not a little 4 cyl. car it's a PERFORMANCE SUV and anything better than the 17-18 that i'm getting is awesome! When you say it's not an off road veichle though what do you mean? it's still good in heavy snow and bad weather correct? thats the whole reason for me buying it. i snowboard every weekend and have found myself in some crazy conditions. Discounts? Well i'll see tonight. i told the dealer what I'm willing to pay and what i want for my truck so we'll see what he does. i hope he's not wasting my time. i'lll keep you posted.

Oh absoultely and i agree but i'm talking about just having the option let's say if i'm parked somewhere or camping or whatever. does anyone know how to do this?

Hey guys, I'm new here. Hopefully picking up my Rx400 tonight or tomorrow. I say hopefully only because I'm a bit concerned about the anger and issues concerning the overblown gas mileage figures Lexus put out that no one's RX is living up to. That's not my question what I'm trying to find out is if you can watch DVDs on the navigation screen? My dealer doesn't have the RX I want with the rear seat DVD so he offered to install one that they put in other Lexus cars for me, bigger screen and all that. I asked if I can watch on the front Nav screen and he said he doesn't think so. basically that's my question, can you with the stock rear DVD system and doesn't anyone have an aftermarket version that allows you to do so. Thanks. -ant

Hey guys I'm new here and on my way to a Lexus dealer today to test drive and almost definitely buy an LX400h. I'm 99.9% set on it BUT I have a few questions. Would you recommend that I NOT buy it based on the funky situation with the gas mileage numbers and it not really living up to what Lexus is claiming? Do any of you guys know about this new or revised engine that Lexus is supposed to be putting in? Are they available in current models or is it a future thing? I'm coming out of a 2003 4Runner Limited that I absolutely love so my question really is can I justify selling my truck to buy a $50 thousand hybrid that seems not to be living up to expectations? Thanks guys -ant
