Lexus new compact SUV

I do have to say that, once again it is not a good thing that Toyota is allowing a Lexus product to be mistaken as a Toyota by that grille design. Maybe it's really a Lexus mule considering how it's testing with luxury crossovers and not mainstream ones. Who knows really.

they are testing it against luxury cars as thats what is its competition here in Europe where Rav4 is nicer and more expensive. For instance most Q3's here are sold for less than well equipped Rav4 with same engine.

Mazda's CX-5 trademark dates back even 3.5 years ago to March 2009, so you're right about that being out of the question. I'm not even seeing CX name show up in trademarks associated with Lexus or Toyota J.K.K., so Lexus better be creative with the naming scheme. I doubt anyone will like the name Lexus DX3-0. Maybe even BX3-0.

Well I doubt they'd be doing this type of testing on an E.U. spec RAV-4 for those reasons. If they needed to do hot weather testing on a E.U.-spec or non-U.S. model, then it would done in a place like Dubai or in Southern Europe. There is a significant chance this is a Lexus mule hidden under the RAV-4, due to where it is being tested and the vehicles involved with it. I could be wrong as I'm a little confused here.
There is nothing about Lexus there... it is Rav4... end of story.

i think you are being confused... they are doing last testing on car that is going to be produced in few months and it is Rav4... they are testing it against Q3 because thats what people who buy vehicles around the world are buying it against.
