Hmm... The Interior DEFINITELY looks like "future concept vehicle" look, in that it probably will NOT ever reach final production. As for the exterior, I guess it will be easier to know whether in person it will look as handsome as the present model. At the moment the pictures show a departure from the typical RX family and style, can it be that the exterior is also "future concept vehicle" in nature?

Cheers,

MadloR

Yeah, no handles and side mirrors are the standard for the LF concept cars...as a showroom rep explained, the Lexus SmartAccess system of the future will not just unlock at touch but open the door for you (in theory), and there are side cameras instead of mirrors.

Thanks eleman73 for the pics!

I don't have a sense for the overall dimensions from these shots. Any idea if they will be able to squeeze 2 more seats into the rear (a la Acura MDX, mazda CX-9?) to make this a 7 person carrier in a pinch...

Im hoping that the new RX hybrid will benefit from the more fuel savy and more powerful 3.5L engine. Active fuel management would also be wise IMO.
