It's the GS steering wheel. Similar in style to the CT, but there are some subtle differences.

Too bad the red and saddle leathers, and black wood trim probably won't make it here.

The spindle grille looks really good on the RX. Can't wait to see it in person.

I really like the look and the updates to the remote touch. Wish the RX has some sort of expose dual exhaust. would look really good.
I see air suspension on the instrument cluster.

Front end is so much better in pics. Will have to see it in person.

So encouraging to see Lexus expand F-sport!

air suspension has always been an option outside of NA, so it will be interesting to see if it will be brought here

yea i figured that, wonder why they deleted it as an option here in the US. Last generation had
air suspension. Guess it didnt sell too well?

I quite like the front end of the hybrid model, but not digging the F-sport at all.

Not many 2nd gen RXs were equipped with air suspension, somewhere around 5%. It was also part of the second most expensive package offered. For me it wasn't a feature I used on the 330. But it'll be interesting to see if it comes back.
