Lexus LF-Xh

Live from Paris 2008: Lexus LF-Xh Hybrid in matte-black
Posted: October 3rd, 2008

We’re huge fans of matte-black and feel that it’s now a popular enough color for manufacturers to offer it in the color palette. Lexus is showing this matte-black LF-Xh concept in Paris right now, and we have to say it looks a lot better than the one we saw at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.

The LF-Xh concept is powered by a V6 gasoline engine and is matted to a high-output electric motor hybrid system. It also gives us a major hint at what the 2010 Lexus RX SUV will look like.

Throw this right up there with the LP640, Veyron, SLR McLaren 722, LP560-4, GT-R and the BRABUS Bullit Black Arrow.

and again the completely flat characterless sides........

damn ugly. no passion. looks like a chrysler minivan

now this is flamboyant. not something i'd buy, but it makes it look like the lexus was designed by 1st graders drawing with crayon for the first time.

^^ It looks to Pacifica Crossover and less mid sized SUV, I hope that is not what Lexus is going for.

Was the new RX supposed to be getting a third row of seats like the X5?

no, lexus stated they didnt want to turn it into a minivan. they did research on the demographic and their buyers are usually the typical american familes. two kids only.

even mazdas are more exciting.

^^^ No how about the sort of guys who designed the sc 300 or 400, or the people who did the first generation gs300, or the second generation gs. I am not saying lexus cars are ugly, infact i like them, but yes a little "flare" would help
