I thought I read somewhere about a third (facing rear) seat option coming out in the 2003 RX, but I can't find it anywhere...

Anybody heard of the extra seat option or have any details (or am I just dreaming this up because I saw it in an Acura)?

 

I think you may be dreaming it. All that I can remember reading re the upcoming RX (incl someone who posted after having been involved in a mfgr clinic and claims to have seen and driven one) was 3.3L motor, more lux, roughly same size but NO third seat. That territory is staked out by the new GX.

But que sera.............
