I like it
. The front ends up looking more aggressive while also looking more expensive with the updated headlights. The new front design gives it a wider look/stance as well. I also like the more "jewel-like" rear tails.
Very curious to hear all the info on the F-Sport models, and to see high-res pics and official details.

I love it, both the exterior and the interior.....We might trade in the 350 for the 450h F-Sport.

I really hope they offer 450h F-Sport in the U.S., unlike how they aren't offering the GS 450h F-Sport.
Gray/Black AWD 450h F-Sport would be killer

Both versions work, but definitely the F-sport is better looking

I think the strip of trim above the glove box is new, and the steering wheel is completely new. Can't tell much past that from these grainy pics!

I like it! I think it looks pretty good. I'm not sure about the chrome on the f-sport, but otherwise, nice!

I like that new caramel coloured leather, that is sweet. Those little bits of metallic trim on the glove box and steering wheel are nice too.

the question is whether or not that caramel color will make it to NA

I like it, way better than the current one. Headlights look like LS600HL. And they finally put red in the taillights!
Any interior color options like F Sport 4GS?

That is very true, I hope they will offer more interior colour choices for the RX and all Lexus models in the future.
