Personally, I like "IX" to coincide with IS. GS --> GX, LS --> LX.

I never thought I'd say this but since I'm a family man now, it would be great to see a large three row luxury crossover slotting in above the RX, to compete with the likes of Audi Q7.

Lightbulb I'm going with "Sports Coupe"...

I'm going with "Sports Coupe"... as suggested by Mr. Evans..

Which makes perfect sense and coincides with this latest news...

2014 IS-F convertible spotted at Nürburgring?

well, they kept saying that baby RX is coming in 2014.... so? Maybe CT300h, GS300h, etc... stuff like that. Its Paris, so it is not large SUV.

And for next gen IS... I would say Tokyo.

Would love to see GS300h but I guess we will see the premiere of that drivetrain in IS first.

yeah... introducing now and selling in 3-4 months makes sense, as IS will start production in December. So who knows.

Otherwise I dont know what else is possible thats exciting for Europe. If baby RX is coming, we would have heard a bit more about it by now. I bet it is some F-Sport version or new engine.

Lexus might able to use the name CX since Mazda releases their models as CX-5, CX-7 and Lexus would release it as CX200h, CX300h.

CX sounds really cool, IX ain't that cool.

BTW, I just realized that Hyundai owns IX.

I too think the possibility is likely for a new coupe or new CUV.

No, WTF stands for Welcome To Facebook. LOL

On the serious note. I'm excited to see what Lexus will bring to the paris auto show. September, come faster.
