National Press Release

RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexus of Richmond is giving customers and friends a sneak peak of the new 2010 Lexus RX 350 on a special two minute video preview on Fox35TV. The video will highlight the exciting third generation RX that will be shown right before the popular American Idol television program. The preview will debut Wednesday, February 18th at 7:58 PM.

Lexus has always stood for incredible value in the luxury segment of the marketplace and this vehicle continues that tradition. The interior has been reinvented with an advanced look and feel that offers a dual-screen rear seat Entertainment Center, Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound Audio System, integrated XM Radio and MP3 compatibility along with Bluetooth audio.

George Whitlow, President of Lexus of Richmond said, "Since the RX debuted in 1998 it has been setting the standard for luxury sport utility vehicles, with amenities and safety features usually found on much more expensive vehicles. Our customers really appreciate the functionality, styling and most importantly the reliability. We are very excited to start delivering the 2010 RX to our customers."

Lexus has always focused on safety and with this model they have really pushed the envelope. The RX offers a Pre-Collision System (PCS) that detects impending frontal collision, and responds instantaneously to protect your most important cargo: You. Additionally there are 10 airbags, active front headrests and rear outboard seatbelts with pre-tensioners.

General Sales Manager, Tom Flood shared, "Our customers have come to appreciate Lexus intuitive navigation systems over the past few years, but the new RX takes things to an entirely new level. Generation Six navigation features Remote Touch and Voice Command along with XM Nav Traffic and XM Nav Weather to help avoid traffic jams and get prepared for unexpected weather changes. The screen of the navigation system is also covered to reduce glare and make it easier for the driver to get the information they need with just a quick glance."

Visibility at night is often an issue for many drivers and the RX heads-up display and intelligent highbeam headlamps keeps the drivers attention where it belongs. . .on the road.
