Not much really to see, except for the price increase

Also note that the Lexus badge is officially removed from the rear trunk lid, 2011 new colors are not yet on the color simulator, but the 2011 brochure is available to see.

Also they seemed to have omitted the LED headlights option the hybrid, which I think was just a mistake.

Good sign, meaning the 2011 RXs should be on their way to the dealers now.

 

Looks a little different without the Lexus badge on the left. I like it with the badge for balance. Oh well. LED headlights were listed as an option for the hybrid in the eBrochure.

Must be a pain waiting to see what your color looks like. Maybe it's in the photo gallery or eBrochure. The pictures look the same/similar to '10. The website defaults to 2010 when I try to 'Build my RX' so no help there. I guess you'll have to wait until they hit the dealer to find out.

 

not sure what you mean by the badge is missing. so the lexus logo is not on the back anymore?

 

No more L-E-X-U-S script on the lower left on door.
I like the Lexus script there.

 

Me too... I like the script there for balance... the only difference I see with the 2011 is the day time running light is white... other than that, everything stays the same...

I thought they were going to have LED day time running light like the IS.

 

Gota save somewhere, what do u think that little omission will save Lexus over the year?

 

Great point!

 

lol, we had a thread about this in CarChat. While they do save maybe a few cents per car, they had to remake the mold for the GS because the badge was drilled into the trunk lid of that car.

Yeah i was disapointed to see nothing on the website or the brochure mention the new colors.

 

Is it just me, or the '11 rear bumper looks different then '10.

 

I believe they are doing that because EVERYONE or MOST already knows what Lexus is just by the logo, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac do it though Acura and Infiniti don't, but then again not everyone knows who they are.

 

Looks like they mad have made a mistake on the LED highlights. Trying to order a 450h and was forced to have LED's headlights in it (Luxury Package and the RSES).Looks like they are still there and it is still in the E brochure. Also saw that the Lexus Enform subscription is now 90-days and not the year that it started off with. Eraly today they had cut some colors out from the E brochure but they are back in there now. I do not think that marketing and production knows what is what yet for the 2011's. Have to hold on for a few weeks until someone sets it in fire as to what will or will not be in the cars

 

Im kind of mad that enform is only 90 days now...if that isnt a mistake on the website

edit: safetyconnect is still for 1 year, and enform is a year for every other model...

 

I'm happy I bought the 2010 - I don't think I'm missing out on anything.

 

The fourth exterior photo of the 2011's at lexus.com shows the front end of a 450h with LED headlights.

 

Northeastern Lexus dealers already have the 2011 RX 350 in inventory. I expect the first units are already being sold this week. Remaining 2010s should go for at least $1,000-$2,000 under invoice.
