Talking Latest RX330 spy picture

I found this new picture on the net and they wrote it would be the new RX. I think that this is true.

I am really happy having found this picture. Finally we can figure out how the front of the LAV will look like. I think it comes close to all the sketches that we`ve already seen but, of course, in a much better way. I can`t wait to see it in person.

So this is pretty damn close


I went to Top-Spy to get their details about the RX. Too bad some of their information is old. They talk about a third row seat and RX350 moniker.

that looks like the photo was taken on Western Blvd right by the Toyota/Lexus H.Q.

Anybody else been by there recently? Looks like they're adding another 2 buildings at the back of the campus. Possibly for the new Scion line???

Looks very consistent with the other pictures. I can't say that I'm impressed, but I should still reserve judgement. Styling still seems too conservative.

Those wheels look a LOT like the Toyota Matrix 17's

I hope it looks much better unveiled. I see a whole lot of highlander in that. I have to believe that it will be markedly different from it's Toyota sibling. Much in the way that the GX and 4runner are different. Funny thing is I have heard several people say that the new Camry in SE trim looks better than the ES. The ES interior is excellent - not challenged in the segment - but the exterior - let just say you better have the right color!

Lexus please keep it original - the current RX may be a hard act to follow. These cars have stood the test of time. Compare a 98-99 ML, with that gray cladding yuk Now look at an RX from the same period - it wins hands down.

I was able to get a photo of the final design. I do not know much about the spec because they are still testing/tuning it, but it was said by the Western Area manager for Lexus that it will out-perform the X5 in 11 of 13 areas.

Let's try not to give draglab a hard time about this one.
