End of summer or fall?

I bought my 2013 on a year end closeout, and that was back in October.

Usually some time in late September, but the best deals on 2014s will be in Nov, Dec or Jan. The selection will be real limited then though.

Timing could be just as good now, and with a better selection. Especially if you have a trade in which will probably have a lower value later in the year. Even some small markets are having good deals now. We just had a stopover in Jackson, MS., for a 15,000 mile service on our way west after a winter in Florida. Noticed they had a big sign on the showroom RX350 saying ask us about $5000 off MSRP. Sometimes even small markets want to move some inventory on occasion. Doesn't hurt to check with a couple dealer internet departments and ask for their best deal. Even if not to your liking, they may call back with something to your satisfaction, without having to wait until later in the year.

As a side note, $56 wasn't bad I thought for the 15,000 mile dealer service, as when we had our 2010 we paid $87 for the 15,000 mile service while in Minnesota. Skipped battery replacement both times though, as batteries would have been $7.95 plus a $4.50 hazardous wast charge!

The 2015 RX will be out before the end of April. I was just into my local dealer to buy a new 2014 but they had little inventory. My sales person said he thought the 2015's would be in by the middle of April ! I'm now going to wait to buy.

The online PDF brochure at lexus.com is for the 2015 now, FWIW.

The interior looks identical to the 2014. Had a hard time finding differences to the exterior.
I was under the impression that the 2015 was a new generation altogether.

It's my understanding that the 2015 RX came out early with just minor changes so that Lexus will have time to work on the new 4th generation 2016 models.
The 2016 RX is to have the major changes.

Specifics can be found over here:

No, the 2015 is not a new model. Perhaps for 2016. Do not believe anyone claimed it would be an all new vehicle. For now, you get just a few tweaks. The NX is coming later this year and that is all-new.

Because all RX production shifted to Canada this year the 2015 RX is available in April.

2016 is the Full redesign.

I show some US dealers with 2015 inventory right now. Whether they're on the lot yet or not, I don't know...

My store has 14 RX's in transit currently. They arrived in port on 3/26/14, so they'll start arriving any day.

Default Build site

Does anyone know if there is a Lexus "build" site up anywhere for the 2015 RX ?

I'd like to build my new 2015 RX and see retail costs for negotiating with my sales person.

My dealer has quite a few on the way; they list them on cars.com. I noticed that the Cruise Control says it is on the steering wheel; I assume like Cadillac and Ford have vs a stalk like my '13?

I sure wish I could see the interior. I'm hoping the '15 will have the sunglasses holder with the rear seat mirror like the new GX has.
