Default About the new RX...

Anyone else think they Mixed a GX and a Toyota Sienna? The rear looks without a doubt like a Sienna...I think the RX330 is going to be the biggest failure for Lexus. If I see it in the showrooms, i'm gonna laugh.

Well considering that when the RX first came out the GX wasn't even out yet. So how they mixed the GX with the RX is beyond me. Plus I think the styling of the RX is really nice and the new RX is pretty nice too. It does have some X5 in it but people have been saying it looks really nice in person. Every person will have a different opinion on things like this so what you see maybe not be what someone else sees. Honestly, I really dont see any mix of a toyota sienna but sometimes the headlights and grill remind me of a jeep grand cheroke.

Exclamation I will certainly disagree!!

From all of the pictures I've seen of the new RX 330, I think it's styled pretty well and I'm sure it will be a BIG SUCCESS for Lexus!!

Additionally, I'm VERY VERY VERY VERY happy that Lexus did not increase it's size to please the stup*d and selfish bigger-is-better crowd. These idi*ts already have a ton of choices and they want pretty much everything that's out there to suit their own selfish needs.

YES, Thanks Lexus for keeping the RX the "compact" "sporty" "hip" and "manuverable" vehicle it should be, and not turning it into a friggin 20-foot long-SOCCER-MOM-BUS for families!! ........Way to go Lexus!!

Well I already went down this path in a previous post, but the new RX330 is more a first gen RX mixed with a little IS Sportcross

I forgot to mention before that the Lexus and RX has had so much success its been copied and imitated many times. The kia serento is just an example of other car makers copying the successful styling of the RX. The altezza lights are also just another example of other car makers and accessory makers trying to copy the successful styling of Lexus. The mitsu outlander took the lights right off the RX and put them on the outlander.
