Default MotorTrend says that new lexus will arrive soon is this true

I read in the latest issue in motortrend magizine that Lexus will have a new SUV coming out soon. I will be positioned between the RX 330 and the GX 470. They called it the Lexus HXP Concept. This is the kinda - like article that was written

___________________________________________________________________________

Lexus HXP Concept

Lexus calls this Mercedes GST/Infiniti FX 45-fighter "the next big thing," althought its not yet been approved for production. Its longer roofline, versus the FX, makes for better proportions and a cramped third-row seat behind 2+2 buckets. Power to all wheels come from the 4.3-liter V-8, steering is by wire, and ride height is adjustable. If given the reen light, it would slot between the truck-based GX 470 and the V-6-only RX 330.

____________________________________________________________________________

In the picture it has those funny lookin doors for example the front door handles and the rear door handles are right next to each other. I wonder what they would call it. The Lexus XP 430?

Well just wanted to let yall know

HoLLa,
AJ

Everything that I have read about the HPX is that it will NOT be a production vehicle. Here's some additional reading from Edmunds.

http://www.edmunds.com/news/autoshow...9/page011.html

I think it's possible they'll take some concepts form the HPX and integrate them into future models of their cars. Personally though, I'd love to see the HPX, or a new Lexus with similar lines. I don't think the flight style controller would make it into a production vehicle.

I read somewhere that it's supposedly targeted towards people with an income over $150,000 a year. I doubt it will be between the RX and GX. But that could be false information.

I think it's coming. The Lexus HPS show car, or "High Performance Sedan" became the current GS with only a wheel design as a change.

I think the price range of the HPX should be in between the RX and GX. It is a lovely vehicle, something that resembles 2025. I like the camera side mirrors of it and also the clutter free dash board.
Does anyone know when it's coming out or will be in the car shows? Although I don't like the design of the rear a little. But it's not really bad.
