Default 2011 rx reviews & photo's...well maybe

Here's 2 sites that review the 2011 RX and one provides photo's which to me look like the 2010's.

http://consumerguideauto.howstuffwor...1-lexus-rx.htm

http://www.helium.com/items/1873480-2011-lexus-rx

The only thing of note that I noticed is the 1st site says the 2011's will have an on-board hard drive.

But I seriously wonder if these reviewers really know what the are talking about.

I don't think so. The first review pretty much extrapolated on the 2010 model. The only new thing noted is the ability to store music on the hard drive. I hope that's true, but am skeptical as to the authority behind this statement.

The second reviewer lost me when he said "all new 2011."

IMO...

1. one of these reports said "The 2011 Lexus RX should see no major changes following its redesign for the 2010 model year."

2. Since 2009, HD has been the feature/option for some of RX sold outsides US/Canada.

3. In 2009, some of countries, outsides US/Canada, states this 3G RX is "2009 RX" when we've called them "2010 RX".

When we're waiting for "2011 RX", many of countries have started to sell "2010 RX" (from "2009 RX")... whatever they're calling, they're the same "models".

In our "2011 RX", Lexus N.A. may just add a few of items which our "2010 RX" never has but have been the options for others' "2009 RX".

^^ yes those are the main changes, but they arent going to list the small things, such as fixes to design flaws. For example, they arent going to headline "added backlighting to homelink buttons"

Lexus Price Increases and Changes for 2011
July 22, 2010


Even Lexus can't escape Toyota's sudden acceleration problems.
For 2011, all non-hybrid Lexus vehicles come standard with a brake override system, which cuts engine power if the throttle and brake pedals are depressed simultaneously.

Other changes in the Lexus lineup include the introduction of a new model to the IS line - the IS350 AWD, starting at $41,905 (a premium of $2,460 over the rear-drive IS350).

All IS models have new grilles, rear bumpers, taillight surrounds, and 17- and 18-inch wheels. Models with HID lighting also boast LED running lights.

The high-performance IS F features revised power-steering and suspension tuning for 2011. LED running lights are standard.

The 3.5-liter V-6 engine in the ES350, which formerly required 91-octane fuel, is now designed to run on 87-octane fuel instead - helping save owners a few dollars at the pump.

But as a result, engine ratings are down, and 0�60 times slow from 6.8 to 7.0 seconds. Fuel-economy ratings stay unchanged at 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway.

The LS460 now offers available air suspension on all-wheel-drive LS460s. Pricing for the all-wheel-drive models climbs $1,220: the LS460 AWD is now $68,560 and the LS640L AWD costs $74,105.

Base price for the LS600hL hybrid climbs $1,200 to $110,875.
