Looks like a Sonata. But it does have the extra slate so they're testing the hybrid?!?

350 maybe. Not 400.
And there just isnt reason for it. Its already very fast.

looks like its taking some of the LX 570 styling, especially around the fog lamp area. how the fogs are circled and the acutal body around the fogs.

It looks like its going to have turn signal side mirrors like on the GS, cant really tell but it looks like it has that crease in them like how the GS are made.

The headlights are weird though, is it going to have high beam projectors or are the high beams the regular bowl housing

The wheels look pretty good though! I overall like the RX, cant wait to see what this one has in stored! I'm sure it will sell anyways.

Unfortunately yes. Competition is intensifying, and Toyota needs to try harder to keep Lexus models competitive.

I would say so.

The new IS, GS, ES, and LS are all significantly designed different (albeit sometimes not better) than their previous-generation counterparts.

It exhibits growth and progress. The RX, of all the Lexus SUV models, should show the most growth and progress, especially in such a competitive crossover market...

2010 Lexus RX hits up the Nurburgring
Earlier last week, we saw spy shots of the new 2010 Lexus RX hanging outside the streets of Nurburgring.

There are no details on any changes to the powertrain lineup, but a new entry level fuel-efficient model is expected. A new V8 is also said to be in the works. The 2010 Lexus RX is heavily based on the Lexus LF-Xh which was powered by a V6 gasoline engine mated to a high-output electric motor hybrid system.

We expect a Detroit Auto Show debut in January 2009.

Click through for the video.

Maybe its me, but that RX seems to be attacking those corners quite fast, and that oh so familiar Supra is there again

Is the Nurb everyone's testing ground now?

I think these carmakers are spending too much time on that, rather than testing how tightly the plastic panels fit, and whether or not there are rattles after 5000 miles of ownership.....

boo..........

If it could handle it, I'd drive it like that Well, remotely like that. I used to have to tone done my cornering speed when driving the RX. Couldn't really drive it like how I drive my cars. The better these SUVs handle the better for everyone I would think
