SO i was driving across the 56 fwy and i saw the new RX come on the freeway. That thing is HIDEOUS. I have no other way to say it. It's pure fug. I know that the interior is great, but you have to get me near the car first. It doesn't look like a luxury SUV. It looks like a cheap SUV with chrome lights.
Lexus will still probably sell a bajillion of these. People are so stupid.

And, as you yourself note, the interior is quite well-done, though I'm not a fan of the computer-mouse on the console.
Its best features, though, far and away, are the refinement, noise isolation, and superb powertrain smoothness, and, though its ride is not as smooth as that of the LS460, it is an excellent vehicle to sit back and relax in.

Honda and especially Acura make by far the ugliest contraptions on the market. They shouldn't even be called cars.
As for the RX, in person up close I was impressed with its quality of course/interior but the exterior did leave me very blah. When I did see one on the road I was very underwhelmed.
I would HAVE to get the RX 450h and the optional LEDs and the sport kit. The optional LEDs change the front end very well. To me, the RX 400h and last gen RX looked just about perfect and aged very very well.
Its clear some brands with the badge power can sell ugly cars. Honda/Acura/Benz/BMW/Lexus/Toyota.

There's uglier things on the road for sure. I still like many of the European designs that I saw in Mexico that we don't get here, but I always got very nice compliments on the lines of my RX300, which many people thought was new when I lived down there, even until the time I left.
I personally liked the 2010 RX350 I drove not too long ago and came away very much impressed especially in handling.

I actually hated it in the pics, but after seeing it on the road (I've seen quite a lot now) it doesn't look too bad. Its growing on me and I'm starting to think it looks good, definitely better than what Acura offers. I still think the second gen looks better though.

I saw one parked at the dealership yesterday and it looks more masculine imo, but the fron is set up for positive lift. The front end is awkward looking

The new RX has hit the right note and finally has introduced the new mouse stick controller. Like the new LX/LC...the RX has recieved a price increase on the top end model...this to me is a reflection of Lexus upping the desing and build cost.
