I like the rear end, it's not that bad and actually kind of sleek. [B]BUT[B] what's with the FORD EDGE front grille. I know this look has to be toned down once it goes into production, I'm not sure if they'll change up the look of the grille. If not, I really can't get with the Edge grille. And I'm not so sure about the Dodge Ram trucks wide facia and fenders with narrow headlights.

Imo, that front end looks like a battering ram! Don't care for it all.

If it has round edges it appeals to me.

Interesting take on the RX styling, but I'm not a fan of those headlights either. The rest would have to grow on me a bit before I made a decision to buy something like that.

Doesn't flow with Lexus L-finesse styling. This is just a cheesy first stage concept, the design will work itself out in time.

The look will never make it to the showroom. Lexus is not going to mess with their bread-n-butter SUV and release this. Too radical a jump from RX350 to this. I could see this as generation after next, but not the next generation RX. Nice concept, but just that... concept.

I have to agree with this, when Lexus introduced the RX back in 1998 it put Lexus sales on top for a couple of months (source is the Lexus Mag that just came out) so I doubt that Lexus will stray to far from the current RX. When I see the original RX while driving around in my new RX the older version still looks good (to me), while the two would never be confused with each other the new one was not a radical departure from the first generation. While it is possible for Lexus to drop the ball and come out with a Lexus version of the "Edsel" , it would be big surprise.
