Beautiful car! Congrats.

Thanxs for the insight on the Lexus 400h. With soaring gas prices (premium here is $4.79-$5.09 today). It's hard not to be tempted to go the Hybrid route. I mean, there is a $20K savings off the bat from the Lexus 400h vs X5 4.8i that I've configured, then the huge saving in gas. Really like the reminder that nearly all other SUV's out there have that disgusting body roll. The Lexus really isn't a competitor for the X5. It's more of "save money and drive a mellow SUV (Lexus 400h)" or "pay more and enjoy a performance SUV (X5)"
