Agreed! I was looking at gray because it blends in with the grille so well but this blue has me questioning whether this is better

Typically untypical: month 1 with the Lexus RX 450h+
You can rely on Lexus to do things just that bit differently. Read month 1 with the Lexus RX hybrid

As a car enthusiast, makes sense since the barrier to entry is low. That being said, as a consumer, the majority of folks at a car dealership who end up purchasing into Lexus probably will end up saying or focusing on things like this on the daily.
Too many conversations end up into silly things like how strong the door is (remember that vw dealer commercial), the door thud score, how many ambient colors, how many maintenance items can one ignore during a lease term, etc.
Side note, these silly conversations or useless metrics are the loop holes that automakers will use to market their vehicles....Lexus F sport appearance vs F sport handling packages or Lexus Blackline editions.

Any thoughts of when we can expect mid model year change?
0-60 in 5.4 to 5.6s is pretty commendable, although I'll say the gearbox is slow as hell...why is there a big pause every time the car shifts?
Aside from that they also need to work on that fake engine noise coz it sounded very unnatural...night and day difference against their NA tuning.

True, but drive both cars for 10 minutes? X5 wins.
RX500h is at least three times better car than previous RX generation. It's probably the biggest generational leap Lexus has ever done when it comes to any of their SUVs. It might look like fierce X5 competition to regular Joe (my eyes much like your eyes see body proportions and size and can tell right away its not in X5/GLE league) but when it comes to actual experience as a whole package it's still a class below. That explains $10,000 difference.
The RX doesn’t need to spend a night in the shop after 10 minutes of driving lol.
All jokes aside I see the RX daily in Los Angeles and I think Lexus did a wicked good job with the design and features. Buyers are clearly voting with their dollars. You cannot step out of the house, drive and not see one.
You're essentially paying higher price for a better car tbh, so I don't see its value proposition like where it used to be.
As much as I love the Lexus, they really need some good turbo engines. The one on the GR Yaris is a great place to start with, double the cylinder counts and go on.
