When I bought my '04 RX330 last month, the vehicle I was comparing it to was a new Veracruz. The 10 year warranty was a benefit for the Hyundai plus I could have had a new vehicle compared to a 3 year old Lexus (the vehicles were the same price). But with the added features of the Lexus and it only had 13k miles, we chose the RX. I saw the first Veracruz on the road yesterday, wow, did the exterior look plain. I would have loved to have a new car again, but I love my RX and I'm verry happy with my desicion. However I really liked the blue interior trim lights in the Veracruz, very modern.
