Black with Sakhir Orange interior with Carbon Leather trim. Of course i've added a whole bunch of other options, so now the wait begins!! Im replacing a Lexus RX330 with this car as my new winter/ski vehicle!!

So what is the spec on the one that Rasmussen has in?

[da3bous]

Saph Black on Black with soft close doors, rear climate, power tailgate, comfort access, sat radio, premium sound, tech package

I believe i might be missing a few things i remember it being around 93k

They always seem to play it safe with Black or Silver Exterior and Black Extended (not Full) Interior on the ones they order for Stock.

Yeah that is why i figured 7 weeks wasnt too bad of a wait. I even told them they could be a little bold with their stock orders occasionally because someone like me will come around that wants it. Its just the economy and flooring costs make it prohibitive for them.

ENJOY!

The lexus wasn't terrible. I did the Pass (I5 through the sisquous and shasta) last year during that terrible snow storm that left i5 covered in snow and ice and i was cruising through the pass (very twisty) at 60+mph with my snow tires, it was a blast. In the X5 it'll be even better I bet. But i will say Lexus trucks are great, I also have a LX570 in Saudi Arabia that is my daily driver/Beach Cruiser and that drives great and not like a huge SUV at all. The only country i could justify that car in, since ill go out to the desert and the dunes and it costs under 30 USD to fill her completely up lol.

the LX570 is a beast. that and the land cruiser are arguably one of the best off roading vehicles made.

So since i was putting snows on the stock rims, i already started thinking 5 months in advance that i wanted some aftermarket rims slightly bigger. Found these at HRE they look like the stock rims sort of but with a huge lip and come in a 21 or 22. Not sure if 22 would be too big or not.
