    The powertrains between the 500h and 550h are quite different. The 500h is a newer 2.4 turbo 4 w/ electric motors. The 550h is the venerable 3.5 V6 w/ electric motors and a plug in system. I suspect the 550h will have better reliability with time. The system is based on the system from the last gen RX450h powertrain which was made for over 10 years and has been shown to be quite reliable over that time.

    I applaud Lexus that a sunroof isn't standard. I hate sunroofs, and I hate that they're often standard on higher trims. It hails where I live, so I don't want a glass roof, I want the cabin to be dark and cool inside, I don't want something expensive to fix that will eventually break or leak over my head, and I want the headroom. Keep them an option for those of us that don't want them.

My car is the highest trim-option combo I could get without a sunroof because I wasn't going to pay for something I don't want. Sunroofs should be optional on every trim so people who don't want a sunroof aren't locked out of the good stuff because they don't want one.

    So to put out some clarification because I spent enough time not having a life to know this.. the Lexus line largely comes with a sunroof as standard, however you can special option them to be a slick top if you are so inclined for what ever reason.. it’s a no cost thing but it’s an option none the less.

  • @herb2000

    4 wheel drive on base TX350 is mechanical. On the hybrids they call it "Direct 4" because it's all electric. The 4 cylinder powers the front wheels with electric assist and the rear wheels are powered by electric motors only.
    I've got 22,000 mile on mine and so far so good.
    One quirk is that I average 24.6 mpg and after a fill up it says i have a 385 mile range. That implies I have 14.6 gallons but it has a 17 gallon tank. Odder still, when at empty, 0 mile range, I've never put in more than 12.5 gallons. Go figure.

    Since you can't see the heads-up display with sunglasses on, the results of the 2 unlabeled buttons on the steering wheel will require the driver to 1. remove sunglasses, 2. put sunglasses down somewhere, 3. find the correct selection on the HUD, 4. find sunglasses again, 5. put sunglasses on. Worst idea since new Coke.
