Default info on '03 rx

Just read little blurb in September's issue of Automobile magazine about the new RX. They claim it will have a longer wheelbase, a wider body and the requisite third-row fold-away seat. The v6 engine jumps in displacement to 3.5 which in turn prompts the model desingnation to jump to RX350. I get most of the auto magazines and this is the first time I have seen reference to the new RX, oh and they also said we won't see it till next summer.

Default hybrid

Don't remember which of the current automotive magazines this was in, but I just read that the 03 RX lineup will include a gas/electric hybrid.

Willard, that bit of info was also in the AUTOMOBILE blurb. It showed a small, very much disguised vehicle photo taken on a public road, too.
