2014 Rx350 ?
I have been searching the forum trying to see when will Rx350 2014 released. So far no information. Does anyone atleast know when was the 2013 RX released ?
I am in the market for this RX, and in ohio where i live in 50 miles radius, there are only 3 lexus dealers. So far, all of them quoted me at invoice price, while i see many people got 10% off of MSRP. I am holding back now.
That s why i want to know when 2014 is released. I have no rush, I just dont want to buy mine now at Invoice price, and next month 2014 is released.
Thanks to ya all

Dealers in California got the '13's the first week in May; I got $3k, off a loaded one on May 31st; could have gotten a left over 12 much less...no changes in '14's from what we hear; sounds like the 8 speed will come in the new model 2015 along with other changes and prices!!!!!

Dinner plate sized Lexus logo on the front of an LS..??!!
We agreed that should Lexus not make a quick change then the aftermarket will likely have a sales gold mine.

As for the assumption that you'll see them in May, don't hold your breath. Last year was a refresh and mfgs often release new and refreshed vehicles earlier in the year to get a jump on the competition. You probably will not see a '14 until the end of summer or early fall.

It's doubtful the price will be the same, plus you'll be able to work a better deal on a '13 compared to the '14 when it comes out. When there are minimal changs as expected this year, there's a lot of incentive to buy the '13.

A '14 is better for me as this would be the second year for the F-Sport and the problems - if any - in the 8-speed transmission would be corrected.

I posted earlier about the one I saw on youtube. It was the guy with the Loaner, so no real information just video of the RX.
The only other thing I could find was a pictures of the F-sport in Europe that had a red interior. So they were assuming the 2014 could be had in other colors not just black. My rx-330 has beige interior and I love it. The black interior on any loners I have driven always showed so much dirt. Not so in the beige.
I'm trying to wait for a model change. I like the new body style but not much else. I want a smooth luxury look and feel. Not sporty and modern metal enterer trim, and paddles. I'm hoping for new engine. transmission, larger Navigation screen, more technology (I like the CUE system on the Cadillac the console makes Lexus look so dated) and a better ride.

I wouldn't hold my breath expecting the Gen 4 to be more luxury. That seems to be the opposite direction of their recent changes. They seem to be targeting youth with the more aggressive appearance and less of the "floating" ride Lexus was known for a decade ago. I expect the Gen 4 to be more of a driver's SUV than a smooth luxury ride.

I bet 4th gen will be more fuel efficient, with more upscale interior, 8 speeds trans, and the design will some what take clues from Toyota Camry. More fururistic robot like, but not sleek like now. Honestly, i liked 07-12 camry the most throughout all generations. The 3rd gen RX clues language were close to 07-12 Camry
My bet is 4th gen RX will take clue from this current camry

I disagree, Having gone to the NYAS this weekend I see a new trend in these vehicles.
The new Acura MDX will be offered in a FWD as base model - the motor is the same one used in the minivan with cylinder deactivation. It looks more mini vanish.
Now look at the JX from Infinity - nothing aggressive or sporty there.
The new Highlander is longer now and will probably be the platform the Gen 4 RX will be based on.
Minivan prices reach into the 40K range - and these crossovers continue from there adding more luxury and a better ride.
The new smaller Lexus suv will be the one going after the Q5 and X3 crowd. The Gen 4 RX will get longer. Also - probably improve in ride and handling - but not that much.
The RX is the right size right now......IMHO.
