From the tags on the car, Kenton County, KY is located just across the river from Cincinnati, and just north of Georgetown, the location of a Toyota plant. This car could be driven by an executive at the Toyota plant.

Actually I think it's pretty ugly giraffe stonework. I don't care about the money thing (even though my house is way bigger and has better stonework...I sound like Trump) I still think it looks ugly.

As with the NX, that front end is a show stopper for me. Glad we bought a 2015; maybe in mid cycle refresh they will tone that down somehow, but for now, not my cup of tea.

This would be excellent news. Anyone know if it'll take regular gas (I'm not sure what the current gen takes)? I also love the look of the C pillar with the tapering rear side window into the bodywork. This is a very cool looking vehicle, and it bet it'll be tough at the beginning to drive one home under MSRP.....

I like the new body style and the new interior. Still waiting to see if the price makes it worth it though. Feels like the U.S. pricing is taking forever- unless I missed that info somewhere?

I wonder how much a house like that costs in KY?

The current gen RX350 takes regular gas. I'm guessing they kept that for the 2016.

Depends on the city, but I'm betting $400K. The way the driveway ramps up, suggests it has a basement.

Typical house pricing in KY is around $100/sqft. (Again, depending on the neighborhood/city)

Looks like a new development somewhere. Builders typically do the front with brick/stone and then get cheap with the other three sides and use vinyl siding.

Isn't there also a Toyota headquarters in Erlanger, KY? It is most likely an executive from that office, instead of someone from the TMMK plant in Georgetown. Georgetown is about 80 miles south of Cincinnati/Erlanger.

Looks...interesting. I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person, though I do hope it impresses. The wife is in need of an SUV and I'm really hoping to stick with the brand.

I like the sequential signaling. Would work well on my ES.

Only if you want a standard $50k base price. Be careful what you wish for.

Agreed. Everything else I can live with. Side, back, floating roof, lights & wheels. That front. ....

But it'll sell so good for Lexus.

Thanks for the pics anyway!
