Wow! Love all the pictures you took! This is the reason why after many hours of research I keep coming back to Lexus and now I am totally convinced a fully loaded IS350 like yours is the way to go for us! The IS350 will be the 3rd Lexus we will be purchasing. Just wish they made a IS350h or IS400h (Hybrid), not that we don't like the GS400h, but the IS looks way sportier! (Are we going through Mid-Life Crisis?) Going for a test drive tomorrow and probably will end up buying another Lexus.(The IS-350 of course...) Congrats and cheers to you!!! :whistles:

Get the AWD... better performance (0-60mph) better handeling (some power to rear wheels at least) better traction (duh) better resale (no doubt AWD will be more in demand, that's why they came out first) only downside is the cost, and I bet that if you did an apples to apples comparison between a comperably equipped 330AWD and the 400AWD you would find the cost of performance (pick your measure...$/hp or $/sec or $/ft-lb) difference between the 330 and 400 is less than the difference between the 400AWD and 400FWD. That would tell me that if I'm getting the 400 for performace reasons, I'm short changing myself by not going all the way and getting the AWD. Ditto! By the way, we just came back from the Snow and we high recommend going with AWD! Cheers!

Congrats my Friend!!! We used to own a 2005 LX470 and since my wife is very petite, moving from the LX470 to the RX400h was a dream come true for her! I still miss the LX470, however, with 50 more horses in the RX400h it performs better than a big gas thirsty V8 in the LX470, and it gets way better mileage, it has the exact same interior as the LX470 we owned with the birdseye maple wood steering wheel, shifter and treament, Mark Levinston audio and rear DVD entertainment system we have gotten used to in the LX470 we consider the RX400h an upgrade! Plus it is now easier for all of us to get in and out of this car because it sits perfectly, not high like the LX470. Before we bought the RX400h we went and test drove 15 different sport utilities and kept coming back to the RX400h, therefore, we concluded this is the all-around best Sport Utility for the money! (The only thing we are still trying to get used to is not stopping by the gas station every other day to fill up our tank...) Cheers to all the Owners of this wonderful ride!!! :whistles:
