well, it's less Mad Max, and more 3IS on steroids now.

personally, I think they should keep the center body colored front bumper cover on the less aggressive models like the current RX and ES, and probably even the NX. They can go crazy on the IS, RC if they want.

2014 Geneve Auto Show is very soon, public opening is 6th of March, press preview probably starts week before that.. so we should know more about NX and 2.0t within next 30 days.

Hmm it looks more elegant and less aggressive than what I had thought which is a damn good thing!
I don't think Lexus should be an aggressive brand. Well maybe just their F-sport models. But the standard vehicles should always have the signature Lexus finesse & elegance that they've always had..

Not sure what to think yet, in same video they had RC-F and it looked mellow as well :-)

I've known this was coming since last year and I was going to wait for it to replace my 6-cylinder '07 RAV4 Limited even though I hadn't hit 50,000 miles on it yet (I was really tiring of the ride). We already had a '12 Camry hybrid and I read that Lexus was going to use the TCH power train in the NX CUV, and I liked the way our Camry drives and rides. But then I found this certified '10 RX 450h with less than 15,000 miles on it priced significantly below KBB. The deal was just too good to pass up. I'm very happy with my RX, especially with the ride and the power when I need it. Of course it doesn't come close to our TCH on gas mileage and no doubt the NX will do much better in that department, but the RX is an excellent compromise between comfort, power and fuel economy and it's a huge step up from our RAV4 in comfort and a definite improvement in fuel efficiency. I'll test-drive an NX when it's available, mainly to see how it rides. But I'll hang on to the RX in any case. This is a smart move by Lexus. And it probably explains why there's apparently no hybrid RAV4 in the works at the moment.
