From the spy pictures, we can already tell its FWD based on the front wheel proportions/front overhang

seems like the Harrier and NX had a one night stand and this is the end result.

They are not messing around, shape is almost identical to the current one and even the taillights get to keep that radial LED cluster.

I guess we'll find out in a couple of days what the new RX could potentially look like. Excited to see how far they have changed things as this is their main volume car.

yeah i don't think it's going to look much of anything like the current rx when it's unveiled.

Seriously Amber turn signals? I thought Lexus already learned their lesson for having Amber turn signals on the 4GS..

And also I'm not really digging that whole "hunchback" design scheme that Lexus is using, particularly for their SUVs

Bring back the classy fast back style like how the 2IS, 3GS & previous ES all had

Yes, because I'm excited for it which says a lot considering I hated the RX for the longest time! Planning on buying one if Lexus offers something decent for the hybrid model. 35mpg city would be amazing!

I prefer Amber turn signals over the red ones. Red turn signals are almost invisible and therefore almost useless and hazardous! Thank you Lexus for keeping the turn signals Amber on all of your vehicles!n

agreed but most high end vehicles use LEDs if they want red turn signals and they are just as, if not safer, than amber
