Ive owned a 2nd gen RX and currently on a 2012 RX450h F-Sport.
I love the 4RX. It's Easter Friday tomorrow and I'm working all day because double rate!!! Got to save up for the 4RX F-Sport. I'm sold on the red interior, not too sure on exterior colour yet

I'm not considering it at this point in time. I will have to see it in person. Looks pretty ugly in photos. I can't imaging the styling having much staying power. Here is where I think Lexus design is at the present moment. I was over at my son's home and a silver NX was driving up the street. I mentioned it to my wife and she looked over at it. As it approached us, I realized it was a Mazda. Opps.

- Weight loss - this is a serious omission. My 2010 3RX is bloated.
- i-AFS - swiveling, tilting headlamps - bring it back!
- CarPlay
- 450h: New hybrid powertrain - where are you???
Also have to see it in person to see if I can live with the polarizing front!

I was on the Lexus fact page (under future models on Lexus.com) and they weren't specific other than saying there were changes and both the 350 and 450h power-trains were 300hp. I watched one video that hinted they designed for regular gas and better mileage. If the 450h has truly been re-mapped for regular than that would be a definite improvement. But I'll wait about a year to let the price gouging subside. And maybe if the gas prices stay down awhile as predicted the (h) may be easier to get a deal on. After 60 trouble free miles I'm sold on the technology.
Ditto. Looking to special order a fully loaded 450H but waiting for details:

I really want to like this, but I can't get past that front grill and rear swoopy roof thing. Interior, mechanicals and technology I like. For me, Lexus has gone overboard with the gaping front grill, especially on the RC and now the RX. Have been awaiting the new RX because we'll be looking for a new vehicle in a couple years and were hoping to get back into an RX. My opinion and I know many like this.
