I really think that the adaptive cruise control, which Lexus and Mercedes are advertising heavily, is a useful feature. If you try to "build your RX330" on the Internet, you will find that, regardless of your zip code, it is not among the available options. My dealer (St. Louis MO) told me it was available on special order, so on 12/13/2003 I special-ordered and made a deposit on a top-line RX330 so equipped, expecting a quoted 3-4 month delivery time, which Lexus Customer Service confirmed as a reasonable estimate. Now, almost two months later, I am told that Lexus cannot deliver this feature at all, with no expected date. I find it strange that Toyota Corporation would give this feature prominent placement in full page ads several times each week, and yet be technically unable to build it.
Does anybody have information about this? What happened?
