I hope this isn't it....looks smaller and shorter than the current with more of a hatchback rear door. Am I seeing things or does it have a very similar current Venza design?

Some high end vehicles have Amber LED turn signals. They are much more noticeable than red.

horrible chop since it uses much smaller vehicle for a body... front end is NX variation sure, thats easiest part, but rest is tiny compared to spy shots of profile and back, which are really big and have big presence that Rav4/Harrier dont.... comes from authors lack of knowledge that new Harrier is Rav4 based and not RX copy anymore.

Haha you can have amber turn signals with non Amber cover! Perhaps I should have made my post clearer.

My IS has Amber turn signals but the cover is clear!

Both these vehicles have Amber illuminating turn signals

i am sure it would be, question is how much better.

Spy shots make it look a lot more serious vehicle than before.

If there is room it would be only for a small jump seat for Toddlers and no luggage storage left.

This vehicle was never meant to be a three row and I hope it never is.

You're right. From looks, if it gets a third row it's not going to be a decent one. I will just be added cost and weight. I do like the exhaust outlets in the bumper though. Glad to see they didn't continue without them. Wasn't a fan of the MDX losing its visible tips.

The back is kind of similar looking to the MDX. No? I too do hope they won't squeeze a 3rd row into this thing. The GX is already crowded with 3rd row.

I always thought these two look kind of similar.

If this thing was coming to NAIAS, wouldn't we have an announcement or press release by now? Press days open on Monday and we already know about GS F and Tacoma, and Scion has confirmed a new sedan for New York.

I am starting to think we won't see the RX/concept until New York.

I just purchased a 2015 RX 350. I hesitated at first knowing the next generation would be coming soon, but with the rumors that it might increase in size and add a 3rd row seat which I don't need or want, I'm glad I went ahead and got it now.
