Didn't see a relevant recent thread:




TX (Grand Highlander) is coming,.

Press Release

 

It looks like, based on renderings I saw, it will have the RX nose.

 

I don't get the name... why TX (Texas/Texus)??

Also not a fan of the d-pillar treatment, Went through the efforts to get unique 3rd row glass from Grand Highlander but then mask it with the "floating roof" black pillar. Also the diverging/widening lines post the pinch is just awkward in my opinion. So many clashing lines.

 

Great another Toyota rebadge.
I’m sure bec its FWD chassis - they can’t use the turbo V6 or 10speed trans.

If priced right in $65k range, it will sell well.

 

I believe it will have the next-generation Lexus design language for the nose. The RX/RZ are weird "transitionary" design languages, but the TX should be getting the new design language from the LM.

 

bc they are running out of consonants! Texus is funny.

 

Grand Highlander has no black-out treatment on C pillar looks a bit more in place.
TX may be bit bland for something so expensive?

 

I'm not too teased by this teaser. It looks more like a Toyota than Lexus

 

Well, partially because all Lexus crossovers or SUVs end with an "X", and they're starting to run out of letter-combinations. We've had NX, LX, GX, RX, UX, etc.... And, with other types of Lexus models, we've had ES, LS, HS, IS, GS, SC, LC, RC, CT, RZ, and LF-A. So, in short, there aren't a whole lot of combinations left.

 

T for THIRD row?

 

Perhaps, but that wouldn't explain the fact that some newer RX models also have a third row option....or, a least, what Lexus CALLS a third-row LOL.

 

exactly, this could potentially be the first usable third row.

 

That rear window looks promising. I have $70,000 reading and waiting for this if they get it right.

 

LOL it's almost the exact same car that Lexus teased two years ago. Even kept the black D-pillar.

 

So this will be a 4cyl in giant SUV?
