with the new JX Infiniti coming out this summer to compete with the RX 350! Starting price is
$40,000 and change and a LOT of options. I have seen mention of the "smaller" RX also; estimating a starting price of $34,000 as RX class goes into the 40's......going to be interesting.
Heavy marketing of the new INFINITI this summer!!

 

I think this would be a great addition to the Lexus lineup. There is a demanding market here in the US, especially if it is a hybrid

 

The picture posted is the only one I have seen anywhere, and the blue LEXUS in the grill shows it off as a Hybrid....it will greatly help CAFE also getting smaller ones out there without dropping prices into the 20's where the RAV4 is..!

 

If you ignore the door panels and front end and just focus on the size and windows, I think it's just an early sketch of how they might have styled the CT. It hasn't showed up at any car shows. Does anyone have a link to a 'serious' publication that has real info and not someone's fantasy of what 'might' happen ??? Must new stuff tends to leak out in 'real' articles and photos of testing long before it hits the showrooms. And with the CT already a HOT unit, it just doesn't make sense Lexus would butt it up against a 'Baby RX' that would have to have a similar price.

Just saying.

 

I really don't know whether this is relevant, but go to you tube and type in New! 2013 toyota Rav
4. The photos sure look a lot like the baby hybrid. Also, on you tube, check out New 2013 Rav 4 spotted in Germany.

 

Here are some photos taken from from the post on Youtube showing a disguised 2013 possible
Rav 4. I do not know if this is significant or not but notice that the wheel design on this vehicle is
identical to the 2013 Lexus RX.

 

That picture is just a photoshop of a CT hence the hybrid badging, etc.
