    oops sorry. I must've missed this thread when looking for new posts.

    aww lol. Well Lexus wood, while still real is now aluminium backed. They used to be solid pieces of wood right?

    I know the CamHy has slightly different tail lights than the regular Camry, so that got me wondering: how to differentiate between a RXh and RX as well as a Hi and HiHy without looking at any Hybrid/HSD specific badging?

    RXh:

    - Round foglights
    - Extra slit in the bumper for cooling
    - Unique 18" alloys (5-spoke design in a chrome/metal finish)


    To differentiate btwn the years, the 2007 added the "HYBRID" emblem in the rear doors and 2008 sees the addition of the blue glow


    HiHy:
    - Extra slit in the bumper for cooling
    - LED taillight/brakelight
    - Unique 17" twin spoke alloys
    - Twin chrome grille bars

    aluminum as an upgrade ... (sigh) well I used up all my whine points today so I'll pass on that & go straight to a happy factoid. Our dealer 'in the know' has it on good authority that the 09's WILL positively have SKS. woo hoo! that's just 10 more munths!
