I'm guessing that the 2009 model year is when we should expect to see the new RX. Maybe as early as January 2008? Just wondering since if that's the case there maybe already been some rumors out there.

I'm probably looking to replace our 4runner with an RX. We just don't have a need for a body on frame SUV, really - we don't tow anything and if we did it would be a very small runabout ski boat or jet skis which I have to assume the new RX would handle fine, right?

LOL... at first glance I thought you had sent me to a thread on the new RX and was about to flip out over the fact that the front looked terrible and the back looked identical to the current one.

Glad to see that you were just joking... but that's still pretty disturbing to see how blatantly they copy other's designs.

 

There are only rumors about the new RX-F. For now...

 

Here are some preliminary shots of the new RX.

omeone here supposedly had photos they posted about it last year.

 

next gen RX will be shown by the end of this year and start sales shortly after that... Most european mags have it under November/December intro, with sales starting soon after that, depending on the market...

 

Really? I never like the ride of these cute ute, camryish handling (except X5).

I'd take the body on frame SUV over these unibody SUV anyday. I prefer the truckish ride. I, too, don't tow anything.

Next gen GX? now that's what I want (if I have money).

 

Well it'd probably usually be my wife driving it and she has little to no appreciation for driving dynamics - she just wants a nice ride.

 

Flip.....any verified photos or hard data on the new RX, besides what we posted? You usually get the company scoop before most of the rest of us.

 

I want to see some pics or some verified info on the next RX.

 

I have high expectations for the next RX, just as I had for the new LS. But maybe I should temper a bit.

Nonetheless, I can envision a new RX becoming even more of a technological showcase. I just hope they don't do LX 570 styling.

 

It would be nice to see a factory modded RX like the IS-F coming out.. Maybe a little bigger inside with dual exhaust and wheels..

 

I love how the current RX looks thing I truelly hate about it is wear the the shifter is argh

 

There's the RX-F?! lol jk.

Lexus is actually doing a good job of keeping their stuff secret until the day of. Since there are a lot of car tabloids that can't be patient and leak info, Lexus is doing their part in surprising us with goodies. It keeps the excitement up, just like the old days.
