Wow ... thats sad

Unbelievable

 

Thats the key word, rumored. Other sites have said anywhere from $70k-$80k. Will wait until there is official news from Lexus.

Pretty sure the LF-LC will fill the gap left by the SC430.

As for as the flagship sedan goes the 7-Series and A8 are both carry over. The only new one is the new S-Class. So Lexus has a few more years to debut a new LS.

Rumor is that a GS grand coupe may be in the works.

 

I guess thread jacking is OK in this forum. I subscribed to this thread to read about the new NX.

Instead all the F fans keep posting. What a waste of my time.

 

ok roger, sorry we're 'wasting your time'

but point made - folks, please keep the thread more about the nx, and not f-sport parts for GS or speculation about other engines and models.

 

Never seen the monthly sales reports? It's usually a GS vs ES flame thread lol.

IMHO, as long as people are respected and there's a constructive criticism, it's good for me.

 

From our own article:

looks like it will be heavily based on Rav4? Basically, Rav4 with few changes, at least this mule.

 

It platform shares with the Rav4 so might as well use it as the prototype cladding so less details can be seen by auto spies like in the video above

 

Not sure why the engineers were so worried...even that interior is directly taken from the Rav4 (for now).

 

well, look at gauge cluster... it is Lexus?

 

steering wheel and column stalks also lexus...

 

Mules are often pieced together with whatever components needed to test whatever it's built for. There are powertrain mules (such as what I suspect this might be) that choose any existing body shell and simply have the mechanicals swapped in. I don't believe this lends any direction that the NX will simply have the badges swapped on a RAV and a gauge cluster thrown in. Calm down people

 

Yes, but overall shapes and everything are Rav4. Not a big deal, Lexus just seemed very serious about covering it up, when the reality is that it's still a very well disguised mule

 

Looks very Lexus



Steering controls are also very IS-ish...

It's definitely the NX, escorted by the X3, Q5 and RAV4.

And for the people worrying the NX being just a literal copy of the RAV4, this is just a mule, not the production model.
