The CX25/35 must be an Infiniti version of the Actic concept.

The CX25 will probably get the 2.5 V6 VQ used in the Japanese Skyline and Fuga. That engine makes about 210 hp/ 197 torque.

This bodes well for a G25 in the next model change. It will battle the IS250, 325i, and A4 1.8.

Also, notice the ES350, which we already knew will get the 3.5 GR V6 engine, as will many Toyotas/Lexuses.

And the upcoming LS460 has pretty much been public knowledge.

Acura CSX. What the hell is that? When you google "Honda CSX", a lawn mower comes up.

Woops, sorry. Didn't see XeroKool's post.

You're welcome to join the discussion here.Hmm...since NSX=New Sportscar eXperiment, CSX=Canceled Sportscar eXperiment?

j/k...hope it'll be something good.

I bet the CSX is a coupe of some sort. Maybe based off the TSX? I dunno, that'd put it somewhat close to the RSX, though.

Infiniti CX? If true, this underscores my previous point that Lexus needs a Rav4-type (okay, maybe a tiny bit larger) vehicle to compete against the Freelander/Q5/X3/MLK (GLK?)/RD-X and possibly the CX.

EDIT: Turns out the speculation on TOV is CSX will be renamed EL. I wonder if it'll just be a rename or if they'll make substantial updates, if the speculation pans out.

Perhaps another 4-cylinder to the Acura line!?!

Incendiary

Not sure, but if it's like a 4-door complement to the RSX, I'd assume so. I'm not sure why they'd need it, though, unless they ditch the TSX (which would not make any sense at all given how well it's selling). Are these patents for the US only? If not, maybe it's just for the Canadian market?

EDIT: Looks like the CSX was registered in Canada only. Perhaps TOV speculation is correct and it's the new name for the EL (CSX = Civic Sport "X"...?) Also, LS460 was for NZ (New Zealand?) only, but I'm sure they'll register it for the US soon if they haven't already.

I imagine spy shots of the next gen ES will be out soon......perhaps this summer. When it does arrive, I think it will be a 2007 model. I will compare the next gen ES to the Avalon for overall value as I think those 2 cars will be the ones on my 'short list'. The AWD GS will be way out of my price range.

NeverSatisfied

Same story here...

Why is the LS460 only trademarked in New Zealand? Or am i just reading wrong.

Skulinex

A high-end land mower??

Gojirra99

You didn't, but I believe this will continue to be updated as more trademarks are filed in different countries . . .

IN 2006 the Rav4 is suppost to get a V6, maybe eventually it will become a Lexus, but I see it like the GX, 4Runner, the Lexus Rav4 will have a different body style
