looks like the new RX and a smaller cuv, maybe based off the rav4?

I wonder if it might not be something like a Toyota that exists in a foreign market that is being tested in the U.S.

Interesting...these are probably mules for who knows what.

Cool, but those guys driving the vehicles sounded like true asshats. I probably would have hit that Lexus considering he was looking for an accident.

Yeah, I hope this article finds it's way to the right people at Lexus/Toyota. Evasive action to avoid pictures is fine, but over-aggressive dangerous driving to protect an already camo'd vehicle is over the top.

Hey, nice stock wheels on a Lexus!

Faymester

in vancouver, you can call the non-emergency police line and tell them about irratically driving vehicles and the cops will come and do something about it (mostly because we have a lot of issues with how people drive around here) ... it would have been entertaining to call in those 3, just for the entertainment factor - 'yea there are these 2 cars completely covered in black canvas and an IS350, driving on such-and-such st like absolute morons, they're going to cause an accedent' - lol

Matrix, next gen RX mule, and an IS350?

TRDFantasy

Indeed. It's almost impossible to tell what those cars were due to the heavy camo. The compact's odd rear extremity was either an open hatch, a wing or an addition to the camo to throw off people trying to guess the car. Who knows, it could even be a hi-po next-gen Matrix .

The midsize CUV looks definitely like a current gen RX ... but it's completely covered up, which could mean it's testing some new exterior parts, and/or it could be a technical/mechanical mule.

The first definately is small enough to be a Toyota, and it has the "family look." It may be the new Matrix?

The second is too similar to the current RX. Why is it covered? Perhaps it's the new RX460h!?!

If it was a hybrid I think they'd go with 450h just like the GS. As I assume they would use the 3.5 V6.

Not only that, the RX is on a fwd platform, hence why I'm so adamant that the next gen be changed to the IS platform

flipside909

I think it's the RX-F. LOL jk.

^^ ROFL..... that thought did cross my mind

I think people like the FWD platform though. People are buying them up like crazy.
