Oh, and then the stereo makes you feel like you are sitting in a concert hall!

The RX400h is my mothers vehicle. She wanted black or white but they were already taken by my father and I  She went with the silver because on the RX she thought it was almost a pewter and her 03 RX300 Coach Edition was gold. She thought it was time for a change. But you are right, the RX's ride amazing! And the stereo is wonderful!

First post 
I love your RX400h! I got a chance to see only one RX400h in person but never got a chance to get inside. 
My dad likes/wanted the RX330/RX400h but we didn't need another SUV so the chance past us to get one.
I'm surprised Ray Catena had that many RX400hs in stock. When my parents were shopping for a ES330, they just went to only three dealers, Warnock Lexus of Livingston and Difeo Lexus of Bound Brook and Prestige Lexus of Ramsey all the way up there near Mahwah. I completely forgot to mention to them that there was a Ray Catena Lexus. Oh well, I hope we'll purchase another Lexus in the future.
The RX330 is not underpowered, IMO but it's not a sprinter either. I've sat in a couple and it's pretty torquey. The RX400h is said to be much faster because of the electric boost. I've yet to sit in one that's moving so I can't comment.
Again, very nice.

You can upload those videos on Putfile.com and link us to it so everybody can see that the RX400h means business 
Too bad, Ray Catena is near Monmouth. Not too close to us.
How is the gas mileage on the RX400h compared to the 4Runner V8?

I will upload the videos on putfile later tonight. The gas mileage on the RX400h is about 27 mpg on highway and 30 mpg in the city. When I commuted in the RX400h to New Brunswick (lots of heavy traffic), I was getting 30 mpg because the car runs on all electric at speeds up to 20 mph. In addition, the engine shuts off when you idle in traffic so this car is great in traffic! In my V8 4Runner, I am getting 18 mpg highway and 16 in the city. Just so you know, both of these vehicles don't even have 5,000 miles on them yet so the mileage should get better.

Word of caution. My mom's Sienna has surpassed the 5000 miles mark and it still performs poorly in the city. 16mpg if we're lucky. It's the same engine in the RX330. The 3MZ-FE 3.3L V6. Gas mileage is only good on the highway.
The weight could be a contributing fact but nowhere did we ever get the advertised 19 mpg EPA city ratings. Then again, you can never trust EPA ratings.

That's very nice. Like the growl of the car.
