yes... thats why it is there... most Toyota's have this although it is not as noticeable as in the pics... thats why we get flat rear floor vs tunnel in many cars (even fwd).

that latest spy pic reminds me of the terrible looking pictures that came out of that japan auto magazine a month back. (check out this thread post #214) hoping it doesn't look that bad or it will absolutely make sales plummet. think 2009-2014 Acura TL and how that pretty much killed acura

I hate the X6!

RX has been fine. Hope lexus don't bastardize one of their top selling car.

Seeing how the nx is, I'm going to venture that it's going to borrow some design cues

I hope it does look like that! I like the new look! Pretty sure we'll go for it when our current RX lease is up in 2016.

It seems like every time a new Lexus comes out with the new design language, people declare that sales are going to plummet, yet sales continue to rise.

Not a fan of the "floating roof" that Nissan is using on the Murano and Maxima, and now here on the Lexus RX

Default All-New 2016 Lexus RX Teased And Confirmed For NY Auto Show


The fourth generation of Lexus' RX mid-size crossover will have its world debut at the 2015 New York International Auto Show on April 1.

The darkened teaser picture released by Lexus suggests that the 2016 RX will have a more dynamic and angular exterior with stronger and sharper profile lines that carry some of the edgy funkiness of the smaller NX, along with prominent rear fenders and a floating roof design with a signature third rear-window.

At the back, the tail lamps look a lot like those found on the latest GS and IS sedans.

There aren’t any photos of the interior yet, but we suspect the RX to feel like a bigger and more luxurious NX inside, festooned with all sorts of gadgets and electronic features.

Lexus was mum on the powertrain options, though, a V6 in both regular and hybrid guises should be on offer in North America, while there's also talk about a four-cylinder turbocharged unit for Europe, Japan and other international markets.

We’ll know more in the coming days leading to the opening of the NY Auto Show.

Except with the NX and its ridiculous black fender trim, it makes the wheel gap look AWFUL.

This teaser shot, like someone else mentioned....looks exactly like the post 214. #sickface #ohwell
