I wonder how quick the RC200t will be. Has anyone tuned a NX200t yet?

low to mid 6's 0-60... It should be 300lbs-400lbs lighter than loaded NX AWD.

Next gen Toyota Century due in 2017. Do you think it could share platforms with the LS this time?

Interesting info, that just might be a given. It will be on TNGA's RWD platform if significantly new. If the Century retains a 12-cylinder powerplant, it would be nice to one in the LS as a novelty. Not practical in the least of course.

Until they hint at that again, likely an unknown until next year. The CLS is likely going to become a variant of the S-Class, with a W213-based CLE as a direct replacememt (grain of salt). Lexus was testing what might've been a mule of an L10 GS, with a sloping roofline in late 2013. Maybe that would be intended to sit between the GS and LS.

i would love to see it but at the same time i am not sure if it's good idea for lexus to be that diversified yet without strengthening their true sedan and coupe lines more

It appears those L-shaped daggers on the lower front bumper are making their way onto more models. First the facelifted ES, now this, and I bet the facelifted IS will get them too.

Obviously ^^ The original pic is that silver '13 LX with the interior of the current LX taken from a Lexus website. I was just wondering if it is accurate.....

Seriously, who writes this?

Not from a Japanese Lexus brochure.

Photoshop....
