March 09 is what I've heard. It will be a 2010. I've seen two different body style pictures on google. One looks like a Ford Edge, the other more like the Toyota Highlander.

I like the first one...

The only people that know what the new Rx will look like aren't talking but I decided to buy a 2008 Rx400h earlier this year when I kept reading information about the new model being larger with a possible 3rd row seat and with more horsepower (none of which I want or need). The new model certainly isn't going to be cheaper. There are also rumors that the new hybrid version may even be a year behind.

In the end I decided to buy now. There is an advantage in buying a car that has had a couple years to work out the problems. I also negotiated a better discount than I thought I would ever get on a new model.
