Default New RX330, its official spy picture!!!!!!

Will have the story, after i up-load the pics.
I hope u can see these pictures and somebody please rotate some of them for easier viewing.
Ok, first off, this is a LEXUS!!! Not a toyota version Harrier. On all the badgings on the car, it says Lexus. Including the stereo controls, steering wheel, and engine cover, door sills all say LEXUS!!! Also the engine WILL be 3.3 liters, judging by the pictures of the engine cover. All pictures are REAL and non-photochopped as far as i can see. It will have 17" wheels and lots of metal like silver trim in the interior and expecially around the window controls. Lots of special features that we dont have: steering wheel stereo controls, electric middle console glove box, and BIG SUNROOF like that of the new E-class. Im so excitied about my magazine, im goona go back finish reading it, and report to u later. I just wanna tell u guys FIRST!!!=)



HIDs are standard now.


More details............the 17 inchers will be 5 spoked and the 3.3L is said to put out around 240hp. Toyota's Harrier will be on sell in February and Taiwan will probably have it at the same time as the states which is in April 2003!!!! This is just too early!! I hope they postponed it and let me enjoy my 02' a little longer. Judging from the pictures, im very happy they didnt change all that much. But the GS like dash certainly look different. I can say one thing for sure......................I will definitely get this baby if im in the market for a 5 person SUV when its out! Again, im sure nobody gives a damn what i think about the exterior, and i dont for what others think, but this is gonna be one sweet ride!!! Im so excitied@@@@@@@!!!!!!!!

All I can say right now is "WOW!" Still need to see the entire vehicle before I make a final judgement, but so far I like what I see. Although one "beef" in general regarding badges, I don't like the trend of the badges getting bigger. I see Nissan's vehicles today, and the badges are just too big for my taste. I guess like sutleness....another example is the "big" font and button look of a lot of Honda's cars.

is it just me or is the interior audio part looking kinda of out of place? the aluminum part looks out of place with the tan leather and its just a bit weird to see the gauges all seperate like that in the rx...

i do like the rims, the bigger moon roof and the rear of the car... our current rear looks a bit like the sienna... but this rear gives us our own style....

the front of the car looks small... but i like how they finally put the fogs in the bumper instead of right under the lamps. those projectors will be great

Really like the new RX. This worries me that there will be more changes to the ES330 than I'd thought.

Good 007 work people!!

It also looks like the tail lights will have LEDs, if I'm seeing the picture right.

During the preview here in Anaheim for the focus group, the tail light lens were also clear and there was nothing inside...no hollow part for the typical tungsten bulbs and more appropriately fit for LEDs.
