As to my comment about Turbo, of course it will come to the USA. I just meant that the car was probably designed for Europe, as for us this size is perfect. In Japan SUVs are not that popular and in USA, RX is going to be much better value (RX here is much more expensive than GS).
So they probably want to reveal production in Europe. Same goes for RC200t - they said in European PR that "european engine specifications will be revealed closer to launch".

Very cool that we get a bit of engine details 
.
So the press release mentions "VVT-iw", I wonder if that's a typo or something new? Awesome to see that this has the latest D4-S system with fan-spray direct injectors. No carbon build up problems will occur thanks to the D4-S system.
The engine doesn't have any electric-assist it seems, but I wonder if well see that on other future turbo engines.
Very interested in the detailed specs for this engine, especially the power curves and fuel economy.

^Also very excited to see what this engine ultimately delivers. I love my Rav4 and think the platform is great, but wouldn't mind something with interior and exterior Lexus design, and of course, more power 
I'm interested to see what transmission they bolt it to. Direct sport shift 8AT? 7spd CVT?

what would be your reaction if this concept was done by Hyundai?
i think it's the most hideous concept ever in past 10 years. I really can't think of anything worse. Lexus is gone mad on this one.
i mean how do you make LC and then make this? same design concept, but one is so beautiful and other is so mindbogglingly ugly. designers...

To each their own. I've seen much worse concepts.

I sure hope they keep most of it, but i very much doubt it. Real SUV will probably not look anything like this.
