Something new from me...

Here is a competitor to the BMW X-3 and the upcoming Mercedes MLK:

Nice chop, but personally, not looking forward to another Lexus SUV, especially a downmarket one.

What I meant was that it does not appear to be a normal IS sedan with AWD...it looks like something jacked-up height-wise, more along the lines of the BMW X3, Mecedes M-Class, Volvo C90, or Porsche Cayenne. I was hoping to see an IS AWD sedan something more along the lines of the normal GS300 AWD sedan.
It is higher-looking than even the Subaru Outback...not to mention the lower-sitting Legacy.

They were going to can the GX, but since sales were up, they decided to keep it... for now... but there is one more SUV coming in within 3 years from what I heard... no idea what segment though.

Nice chop...

I wanted to say I don't wanna see Lexus going down-market, but if all the competitors are coming out with a vehicle like this, Lexus may just as well dominate them in this segment. After all, Lexus is the undisputed LSUV king.
