So with the obvious headlamp change, there will no longer be three headlamp versions like there is currently with the HID in the center with the high beams on the outside and the regular halogen headlamps on the outside and high beams in the center with the base models and of course the LED lamps?

Specifics are still not available from Lexus Marketing allowing any of us to speak with 100% certainty for each of the models.

I like the gray horizontal bars on the RX vs. the black ones on the GS. I wonder what the GS would look like with those...

Headlights look bigger than on the previous one. That's a good thing, it's not shy anymore.

When I saw pictures of the new GS in magazines, i thought it looked horrible. Then I saw it in person. Then I saw the F sport version in person. Then I drove it. Now I love the spindle face.

The first time I saw the design of the new RX on paper, I hated it. I am convinced by the time I see it in person, I will hate the look....of my 2010 RX.

I just realized today that North America is the only market getting 8AT for the RX350 F-Sport. The JDM RX350 F-Sport only has 6AT.

A very rare case of the JDM not getting the best stuff they have.

It happens from time to time. The 8 speed will eventually move into all 3.5 models.

If I am correct, the F-sport USA model is coming from Canada.

My wife couldn't stand the earlier look but loves the new "spindle" look. It'll be down to either an X5 or the facelift RX for her whenever she decides she's ready for a new car (hopefully soon).
