New '08 RL sitting in my garage. Pics. Installed Panavise mount.
2008 RL Tech Package.

So far, loving it. Has 36,500 miles, just came off a lease. Got it for $26,500 +taxes, tags. Also has a 7 year/100k mile b-to-b warranty left.

Has A-Spec wheels (not sure if it has the a-spec suspension - let me know if you can tell by the pics / ride height) and spoiler. Drives beautifully.

So far the only thing I've done to it is print out a voice command cheat sheet and install a panavise mount for my HTC EVO 4G.

judging by the 4x4 look you do not have the a-spec suspension, I think.

otherwise it looks great

Nice car. You have to love the EVO 4G too. I have the same phone. I'm on bed rest though and cat wait to see it this app i have that's supposed to read texts/email through blutooth and the reverse through the phone. Maybe you could get the free app and try it out for me . It's called Vlingo.

Super sharp looking RL. Looks to be in Mint condition.

Great color combo too.

Enjoy

Congrats on a good-looking car.

Watch out for the "drop addiction"... from "4x4 look" you can go to "can't go up driveways or through intersections" like rice-rockets, pretty quick!

Are you saying dropped cars in general are rice-rockets? Just wondering...

Congrats on the new ride!

They already have a light tint. Not sure of the percentage but I'm happy with it so don't think I'll go any darker.

I am not impressed with the look of the Panavise holder. It doesn't exactly add to the clean lines of the center console and the passengers thigh will have blood on it with the first pot-hole.

I have a question, how come your RL does not have cooled seats? This RL is a '05 and has cooled seats:

^ Only reason I even considered a Lexus, but common sense took over and I went with the RL.
