Live from Paris 2008: Lexus LF-Xh Hybrid in matte-black
Posted: October 3rd, 2008

We’re huge fans of matte-black and feel that it’s now a popular enough color for manufacturers to offer it in the color palette. Lexus is showing this matte-black LF-Xh concept in Paris right now, and we have to say it looks a lot better than the one we saw at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.

The LF-Xh concept is powered by a V6 gasoline engine and is matted to a high-output electric motor hybrid system. It also gives us a major hint at what the 2010 Lexus RX SUV will look like.

Throw this right up there with the LP640, Veyron, SLR McLaren 722, LP560-4, GT-R and the BRABUS Bullit Black Arrow.

Maybe Lexus is gunning for a spot in the new Knight Rider

and again the completely flat characterless sides........

damn ugly. no passion. looks like a chrysler minivan




now this is flamboyant. not something i'd buy, but it makes it look like the lexus was designed by 1st graders drawing with crayon for the first time.

reminds me of a chrysler pacifica mixed with a inifiniti fx

^^ It looks to Pacifica Crossover and less mid sized SUV, I hope that is not what Lexus is going for.

it's too long to be sporty

Was the new RX supposed to be getting a third row of seats like the X5?

RXSF

no, lexus stated they didnt want to turn it into a minivan. they did research on the demographic and their buyers are usually the typical american familes. two kids only.

dunnojack

lexus should hire some of the designers from peugoet and citroen.

the way lexus designs have been recently......... aint the direction of the future.

even mazdas are more exciting.

^^^ No how about the sort of guys who designed the sc 300 or 400, or the people who did the first generation gs300, or the second generation gs. I am not saying lexus cars are ugly, infact i like them, but yes a little "flare" would help

I am not a fan of the styling exercise but Lexus had some nuts painting it flat black...though a SUV flat black is kinda lol...how about an LF-A in it?

I'm starting to get confused with all of these letter designations

That rear taillight looks like the front of the new maxima:

Interesting finish...

The high waist line makes the roof line look flattened.
