Not sure if making the RX larger is the right move. I am sure lexus is thinking hard on this one. The RX is best selling SUV for a reason. The RX has made its name as a 5 seater SUV. If it is going to go into the highlander/venza route, I am not sure if it will work. They should have just made the RX smaller and made the NX a 7 seater.

NX is going to be Rav4 sized... so appreciable difference in size.

i dont think anyone ever had trouble seeing the difference between GX and LX.
I do think that GX as today, will go away. GX is not a big seller, actually LX outsells it worldwide, so I am not sure what are they going to do, but it seems like to me that obvious choice would be making larger RX and call it GX.
Prado would also probably sell better if it wasnt limited by GX too.

GX going 7 seater for the next restyling? Although that could be pretty late since the GX just got refreshed!
RX stuck to 5 seater seems the logical choice, but I'm pretty sure that it will grow (just a little bit) so there's much more differentiation between the RX and NX.

i'd be very surprised if lexus axed the gx. infiniti also has a 4 ute line-up (ex, fx, jx, qx) - slightly different positioning, but i think lexus will adapt. what i'd expect is rx stays same size, but gx gets a bit 'softer' and a better 3 row vehicle. the lx will get bigger.
it's already 7 seater.

The Audi Q3 currently competes in that space. But yes that would be a smart move for Lexus to make.

Yeah, that cassette deck in the 1st-Gen GX just looks hella-dope...................................................
Sales of the refreshed GX were up 65% last month, fyi.
