I like the many L-insignias in the RXh, but some of them just look very unprofessional, and it looks like they painted over the Power-Vol and Tune-File words - obviously don't light up anymore. Still, the RXh has what I've always wanted in a Lexus. And deep-dish wheels are turnoffs for me.

Wow for the CT200h because that 18" wheel looks really great ! Wow for the GS450h because there's finally someone tuned Hybrid sedan into race car ! Wow for the RX450h because it's ... weird ! I've just realize this year's Lexus only show off Hybrid on Sema !

I like the exterior look of the RX450. It has a strong and beefy look. Only turn-off is that pretzel-like knot hanging in the rear-view mirror. Fox Marketing did a great job on that LS600hl. The triple-LED projectors look great, and I love those dual foglights with chrome bezels, like found on MB. I wonder if that's the same HS250 I saw at Pursuit 2 event in Irwindale. It looks awesome in person. Besides the performance brakes and bigger wheels on the CT200h, it looks the same as the regular CT. I think the Australian has the better F-sport CT200 package: The GS450h looks like it can do a lot of damage on the race track. I personally like the Volk racing wheels the best in the bunch.

@JVX: The 3 LED projectors look best in the LSh and the LF-Xh Concept. On the other vehicles, it's so-so.

@WorldofLuxury : I'd trust on that because Ni battery is kind of battery that I hate the most , I hope Toyota & Lexus use Li-Ion !
