Default Rx "f"

Just saw the TOMs NX kit and just seeing the quad tail exhaust made me dream of an RX "F".

Anyway, I'm really liking the new RX design and certainly looking at purchasing one, but what do you guys think if Lexus put it all together and created an actual F version with the 5.0L V8? Would that entice buyers? I know for sure that if Lexus did do this, I would be yelling at the dealerships to take my money!

It'd be cheaper to put a quad exhaust on your RX , though there is a dual exhaust and 30 more hp on the MY16 RX.

5.0 is only available for RWD applications.

Doubt that will ever happen. Even if they could make the 5.0L V8 work with AWD application, the market for that kind of SUV is really small. They would have to do a lot of engineering to make it perform and handle well, probably moving it too close to Porsche territory in price. I would love to have an RXF with that power but not the price, and I think people who can afford it would rather get the Porsche...
