Default RX 330 V8 or V6?

I seen in the Lexus Magizine that the RX 330 will be a V8 engine and also in some other magizines. And on some lixus sites, they say that it is going to be a V6 engine. Which one is it?

It is the V6. V8 is reserved for the GX470, which is the one bigger than the RX330. At least I am pretty sure on my part.

The 330 number signifies 3.3Liters which is still in good range for 6cylenders. Lexus goes to 8 cylenders for numbers in 4hundreds like GS430 etc.

I have seen at least one mention of the "Lexus 3.3 L V8" in print. This would be known as a "typographical error".

You will also read about V8 power in reference to the new RX hybrid. The articles I have read state V8 power with V6 economy.

Mooretorque addressed that. An error indeed
