Lexus files a trademark for a very interesting model name that could actually see the light of day.

I wouldn't be suprised if the RZ 450e was a plug-in hybrid (note the e not h) CUV. RZ sounds higher up than RX, so perhaps this is the F1-Limitless concept

Hopefully this Lexus comes out in next couple of years. Time to market is incredibly slow for Lexus. Tesla is mopping the floor these days.

Plug in would be cool too especially if they can use the one from the RAV4 Prime. Maybe have both a full BEV and PHEV. Maybe they will surprise and give us a RWD based Crossover.
