Tell us where you stand...
Does a compact sport-luxury crossover based and sized around the RAV4 entice?

How about the introduction of the new Lexus 2L Turbo 4 (~240-260 hp) promising optimal performance and excellent fuel economy?

Does the thought of 40 mpg from the available Hybrid Lexus Drive 2.5L engine get you excited, or would a mid $30K starting price gain your interest?

I'm considering purchasing a GX at the moment so the thought of a cross-over with a turbo 4-banger and cramp interior doesn't really appeal to me at the moment.

...but I will hold my judgement on the NX until I see a production vehicle in person.

1. We just got our RX350 in October so too early to start thinking about changing.
2. The NX looks too crossover - sedanish. We like the higher ride of the RX, a big deal for us.
3. The design looks too stealth bomber - all angles. The 2014 RX goes about as far as I like in that direction. Lexus seems to be pushing that angled look and I don't like it.

Need to test drive it first. I might consider trading in my old IS for it and keeping the RX.

Looks much bigger and higher than RAV4 which is too tiny; be interested in seeing it!!

No not yet.
Just bought our RX 450h on January 7th, 2014 so too soon.
Ask me in 8 years though when the hybrid battery warranty expires.

The design looks too stealth bomber - all angles. Yup! Way too sci fi for me. Would love more info on the 2015 RX350.
