Edit: I goofed - sorry! I meant to respond to the thread about a possible fourth SUV but as you can see, I've started a new thread. Could one of the moderators please delete this thread? Thanks.

Haven't heard anything, but if this rumor is true, I would say that it would have to be a car that is already available on the Japanese market. Often times, a US car magazine will have some sort of information in terms of a new model being developed, even if it's by as secretive a company as Toyota. For instance, Automobile first mentioned the development of a Camry-based "crossover" SUV that, two years later, became the RX300. Autoweek mentioned a third SUV based off the GS platform three years before the GX470 came out. I broke the Autoweek news on the old CL forum. I'd given up on it until lo and behold the GX is revealed. It'd be quite difficult to squeeze in yet another SUV given the proximity of the RX and GX's pricepoints. Given what I've presented here, we should either look more closely at the models available in Japan, or perhaps the possibility of a more sporty RX or GX. I have reason to doubt this claim by AutoSpies given Toyota's recent tendency away from its performance group. But, seeing how its SUVs are its bread and butter, it would make sense for Lexus to introduce another SUV. BMW is extremely aggressive in introducing new models, which theoretically would lead to higher sales. If Lexus is expected to continue its streak of being the number one luxury marque in the US, it will need to expand its offerings.
