I really believe the 300 series will be smaller so does the LC and this is to comply with US regulations on lowering the fuel consumption .. look at other SUVs and sedans that got smaller such as Toyota Avalon and Nissan Pathfinder ...etc

I also think Toyota will finally introduce the mouse or the dial control to the LX similar to what you find in new Lexus sedans e.g. ES and LS

But in terms in the body exterior design, I feel the lights will get more geometric i.e. not the current "parallelogram" shape

Window shape might not change dramatically unless the seating & dashboard completely redesigned

I really hope the size of the car doesnt get trimmed otherwise I may not buy the 300 series .. I currently own a 2010 LX and barely holding my horses not to buy a 200 until the new model comes

I am sticking with my 2015 LX until the major change, hopefully in three years.

Why change something for the sake of a single market where you hardly sell any units at all? This makes no sense to me especially if these changes will negatively impact sales in overseas markets.

Hope the LX is just a photoshop, otherwise that would be a big disappointment, and somebody at Lexus should be fired. Hopefully this is not the case. Fingers crossed.

^ The GCC by far. In Qatar for example, the LX is all over the place.

BTW the LX pic is obviously photoshopped, but how accurate is it?

It looks as if Lexus will make its signature schnozz even larger on the 2016 LX 570.

US market is weak for Toyota/Lexus trucks, including LX. US SUV market is all about crossovers and unibody because real SUVs are not needed by 99% owners.

Looks really nice...I hope this is how it ends up looking. It looks much sleeker and the back end looks much less frumpy than before. Only thing I don't like is the Hofmeister kink which they stole from BMW...the LC/LX is an iconic vehicle and there is no need to introduce BMW styling elements. I also hope that leather color comes to the US.

I was torn between an escalade and the LX...if the LX really does look like this then my mind is made up!

I think the latest batch of leaked photos look great! The front view, from the side looks terrific. I would like to see more of the interior and learn about new enhancements/improvements, features, ect.
