Thanks for sharing.
Did you have any pictures of the inside, particularly rear seating, trunk...?

 

The front end looks like the mechanical equivalent of a mole. The grill looks like it's made of a giant piece of molded rubber. I was hoping the real headlamps raised from being hidden, but if what I see is it, then I'm not that keen on the front.

 

Is this a Lexus CT replacement? What is it? They say it's an SUV but looks pretty low. Hard to tell in the pics. Looks nice though.

 

I guess so, if next CT costs 100k and has wheelbase of 2017 Lexus LS .

Otherwise no, it is RWD based luxury suv/coupe concept from Lexus.

 

We have 22" wheels on our 2017 RX350 and it still rides great while being somewhat "sporty" on 265/45s.

I really like this 3/4" view....

 

Looks more like an abbreviated station wagon body than SUV or CUV. I rather see them go a bit more masculine.

 

It's terrible. The spindle is getting worse not better and now the ugly has spread to the rear end.

 

nice side profile proportions.

but that face and butt look ugly head-on.
that 3rd window looks generic.

 

trying to understand the positioning of this possible model... it seems like a 4 seater (likely to be 5 if released), seems maybe nx sized?

 

Its confirmed that its RWD based - finally Lexus is doing something right!
Styling looks pretty good too.

I think this new SUV is what the Infiniti FX used to be and will compete with Jag Fpace and RangeRover Velar, X6, GLE coupe etc. So fun, sporty, stylish.

 

so it's kinda x6 competition?

 

Somewhat, but it might be positioned higher than the X6 price wise. Lengthwise I believe it's just over 197 inches. X6 is about 194. Probably targeting the upcoming Audi Q8 and full size Range Rover.

 

It's sort of what the FX50/QX70 was in the Infiniti lineup, the higher tiered SUV in terms of style and power while retaining the high ride height and cargo capabilities. Since I have an RX350 for the wife, I would consider this vehicle for myself (it wouldn't supplant our RX).

 

I think this will complement the current lineup nicely. I like the overall design and proportions as well. I think it needs: wider rims and tires, headlights to get rid of the squinting/sour looking face of a front and of course F badges. And, what is under the hood??!!?!

 

The Lexus press release calls it a Flagship implying that it is at the top of their line. Obviously on the GS-L Platform which is RWD architecture. They left the powertrain description out other than that it could be hybrid or fuel cell at least as an option. Anyone for a LS500 crossover?
