Rendezvous rear, Matrix-like wheels. I haven't seen that pic before either. Still waiting for the real deal...

Default Well, it looks photochopped...

On second thoughts it looks kinda like the matrix... The website where the pictures are posted is http://easyfinder.atnext.com
I can't read Japanese so I modified the link http://easyfinder.atnext.com/images/...554-05C-04.jpg and replaced the "04.jpg" with other numbers to get other pics...

Default IT IS IT IS!!!

I just looked at the image Paddy Wagon posted a while back of a heavily disguised RX and the similarities are amazing... Just look at the side of the car and the wheels... FREAKY!!!

We need to wait until whitels weighs in...He has seen it. This picture is not exactly what he saw in his focus group.

Default Hmmmm... is that a 3rd mirror?

Either poor Photoshop job... or an extra mirror on the driver-side, by the front light? In any case, to put my 2cents in, if this is where the design is heading then I DON'T LIKE IT! Too much of a wagon-like appearance... I'd prefer a more rugged look instead.

I wouldn't get too worked up over the next gen. RX. No use speculating and worrying over it, just wait until the real deal comes out, then you can complain

Toyota Harrier below; note the mirror.

I don't care for it compared to the current design - looks WAY too boxy and the lines are all screwy... Could just be a bad photoshop job though, and I'm not going to pass any judgement before I see one in person (no matter how good the photo on the internet)... I won't be getting one no matter what though - my current '01 RX is PAID OFF!

I hope that's not the new RX. Look at the that C pillar!
If I'd wanted a Buick Rendezvous, I'd gotten one. Geez.

If it looks ugly like this, what's the point?

The Rendezvous C-pillar is more of a copy of the RX and/or M-Class, not the other way around. It's just that Buick took a design element and de-proved on it

Attached is whitels sketch of what he saw.
Notice the difference in the C pillar in his
sketch. I'd be really disappointed if the new
RX was like the Harrier picture above.

For one thing, that harrier doesnt have a rear trunk window (on the sides). I hope lexus keeps that window ---> I like it.
