Best selling doesnt always mean the best. I wouldnt consider the Camry and RAV4 the best vehicles in its class, but yet they are the best sellers. I would consider the S Class best in class and it is also a top seller, but it isnt always the best in all aspects like reliability, but as sales prove, reliability is not the end all and be all, otherwise the LS will outsell the S Class.

I can like some of their models without liking the brand or what its management is doing. Plus I like supporting the underdog. I lease my cars so reliability is not a real issue for me, that said I would never touch a BMW. Oh and lastly, if I want to criticize a brand I am entitled to as an owner.

For sure. RX has never been the best in class. But is best in class, so something is working for Lexus. Personally I do not like the RX compared to an XT5 or Nautilus

Just noticed they put two USB's up front. Perhaps in place of the ones that were in the center console.

Toys4RJill

Strange that they move it from the centre console. The starts/stop button has been updated too.

I don't know if they removed the center console ones, but It's nice to have two up front and easily accessible.

Maybe they moved it to add wireless charging.

Where the warning sticker is, is a cubby where the wireless charger would be IF it was offered on U.S. spec RX. I don't know if they're added it yet or if it's still just space.

This generation RX has always had available wireless charging...

Yeah.. I never disputed that. I said the U.S. Spec one does not offer it. When available it is located ahead of the cupholders in other countries.

The question is will 2020 gain the option for U.S Spec

SW17LS

Are you sure US Spec RXs dont have wireless charging?

This earlier CL thread, though a couple of years old, may address at least part of the wireless-charging question in the RX.

I checked a PDF download of the 2019 Owners' Manual for the RX, and it does mention, on pages 544 and 545, wireless charging, but only if equipped...which suggests that it is, indeed, only available in certain markets and/or with certain options.
