Just guessing but with a new generation, I think Toyota would want to stock dealers with plenty on units for a couple of months before taking special orders.
A 450h may be a different matter. They were always made in Japan. Maybe not anymore.
Just guessing, though.

The 450h is now made in Canada.

Hmm Q7 huh? It looks like an Audi A6 avant which has been fed too many burgers

Anyways - gotta say, the new RX is looking splendid - more masculine than a Q7 anyway!





The front looks very similar to the NX. This is more likely the Luxury variants due to the horizontal grill. Just look at the sheer size of it compared to the Citroen Berlingo pictured!





One heavily camo'ed C-pillar - funny how they do that when its already been seen in the teaser!





Blacked out tailpipes?!





No tailpipes - Got to be the hybrid version!

Cant wait, just 4 more days!

I hope they keep the horizontal slats that close apart. They are way too spread out on the NX

For those interested, this picture is also floating around the Internet which is a brightened up picture of the teaser picture which reveals more information.

Agree 100%.

My guess is :

* 350 V6 is now using the Atkinson cycle at low rpm:s

* RX 200t for some markets with a little bit more power than NX due to weight .

* RX 450 h as today, probably upgrades in the hybrid system but not noticeable for the driver.

well V6 should get full deal - both atkinson and D4S, so it should have over 300hp and be more fuel efficient... 2.0t I believe will be same as NX. As to 450h, I have no idea at all.
