Yeah overall I think the QX60 is poorly executed compared to what it could have been, which is why we don't own one, its just an example of how the seating can be arranged to be very attractive.

Thats my point...you see JX35s/QX60s everywhere, they're selling 3,500 of them a month. If they can sell 3,500 of that vehicle a month with Infiniti's limited dealer network and appeal, imagine what Lexus can do with a well executed 3 row crossover...

With the countess models in the market, it's funny how many holes still exist. There isn't something for everybody. You just can't get 3 rows in the RX as it stands size wise. If you can't get a Grand Cherokee with 3 rows, how could an RX have them? Lexus has 5 SUV's. It seems they need 6. Perhaps it would have made much more sense to come out with the [TX?] before the small NX. I bet a Highlander sized Lexus crossover will have more market than the NX.

The Rx16 192.5in and the X5 2015 192.4in. They are identical but the back of the x5 seem to bie bigger for 3rd row optional.

Not at all... NX will likely become best selling Lexus model worldwide this year, where on the other side, TX would likely sell only in USA, Russia and maybe Arab countries. It will likely be bigger than Highlander, hopefully it is.
