Brakes are 12.3 in at the front and 13.3 in the rear. Both front and rear are vetilated. Brake size is the same for all models. The brakes will be fine.

Close, 12.9 front and 13.3 rear. But yes, same on the 350 and 450h. They just look small due to the larger wheels that are now fitted to the RX.

They usually are. I think that was one of the points Hoovey was making.

Where did you get the spec? I didn't (yet) see it posted on the Lexus web site yet....perhaps I just missed it, or just didn't look in the right map-site.

You have to go to the Toyota Media Room to get the in depth spec details or product lists.

That guy was annoying. Why didn't he just do some jumping jacks while he did the review? Couldn't keep still for a second could he?

Same location as the NX, I would suspect.

I see some cars running around with the plate in the front window, but that's sometimes of doubtful legality. Plus, it can be dangerous if it is too close to the air-bag containers.

The license plate will go where it goes On all full spindle cars and will look like it does on all full spindle cars. It looks fine.

They are too busy testing snow blowers. They'll just plagiarize other mag reports, and add a line about how well a child seat fits. I mean, that's really what they do, right?

And yet, no matter how many times you keep harping on the CR "first impression" fail, and how many times you are shown to be wrong, you just won't let it go:
