My RX350's single doesn't have a chrome tip and barely can be seen.I'd love duals but the new RX no see pipe is second best.
All about costs. Last RX had chrome tip, new one does not. I rather pay the extra $30 on the sticker for it.

Looks great. Very clean, modern, and classy. No funky styling or gimmicks like most competitors. This would be top on my list if I needed an SUV. Also like the Tundra-like front grille and more aggressive headlights. Dumping the circular rear reflector lights was also a bright idea.

Probably but I really like the look without the chrome tip on my RX.
Today with all the dual exhaust looks,a single chrome tip looks kind of odd.

I agree. If it's going to have one tip, keeping it concealed/low key looks better. When I'm behind a new RX I don't even notice, which is good.

Agreed, single tip should be hidden (like a Jeep for better departure angle).

Agreed. I thought for sure this latest generation would have them on all models. The hybrid used to have them, now none of them do.

I have to say just in pics that looks like one of the best Toyota models in years. Hope quality is up. I really like that pic of the interior

3rd row is nice to have.

nice to have, but not very comfortable. reasonable space for 3rd row in suv though. getting in and out is a bit troublesome

It's (3rd row seating) more for families with the nimble pre-teen kids.

I thought the highlander already received a redesign? The highlander and Sequia are by far my favorite SUV from Toyota.. I do like the highlander..
