Any perspectives/experience whether it is better to lease the RX400h compared to buying and selling it a few years later? (we hope to purchase a plug-in hybrid in 2-3 years!) The questions are how does the real-world resale value of the RX400h compare to what's calculated in leases, and do Lexus dealers give better deals to buyers or leasers of the RX400h? (Lexus is currently advertising "special lease rates") And if the answer is leasing, any advice on how to negotiate the best deal? Thanks!

My wife and I are looking to get a new RX400H, and I'd appreciate people's opinions on whether to get the AWD or FWD version. Best as I could tell the AWD has slightly better acceleration, but the FWD gets slightly better mileage. Anyone know if the AWD make a significant difference for driving in snow, ice, and rain??
