Default Rx350?

I'm glad Lexus is finally realizing that the 3.5L V6 is the new trend. Could ES350 be not far off?

It is possible and if does happen it will likely come from the Avalon. I am guessing the Avalon , Highlander, anr RX will get a bump to 3.5L. While the next Camry will get bump to 3.3l. The LX 2005 will include the 270 HP seen in the GX.

Most likely the SE model and the Solara V6's will get the 3.5L 2GR-FSE. The LX will get the 270hp now with VVT-i.
