I still think car will be very different in real pics - ie more sharp lines...

.. and also think that GS front will be the winner - shark look at front is best part (imho) of current GS design...
I will wait for official pics and to see it in person before making final judgements. My initial impression is that the exterior is a dissapointment.

Hmmm. Interesting how the inside light is a projector , while the outside light is a standard reflector headlight. Unless for some strange reason the projector light is actually the lowbeam

Looks very similar to the last model but more curvy. I see the same shoulder line as the IS, which makes for a swoopy exterior but gives the car less interior room.

Very odd grill design for a Lexus, with the chrome extending to the headlights up top, like some wings.

Interior is really growing on me, very different, like the 1RX. Considering how much the RX has been imitated, Lexus had to go bold here.

Can't wait to see RX 450h specs!

Yes, however the projector is usually on the outside, not on the inside closer to the grill.



Rear end reminds me so much of a Venza mixed with a Mazda.

Highbeams are on the inside usually. Highbeams are usually the reflector beams and lowbeams projector.

^^ Yea, which is why I'm sort of confused. Is this car going to have reflector low beams and projector high beams?

Maybe the RX is wider, so the regular beams are now on the inside.

Or it has high/low HIDs now. Surely the reflector is the daytime running lamp.

I can't get over the fact that the grille looks like it came from an ES350.

the grill is more IS than ES.

the ES has horizontal lines, and the IS has verticle, like this RX
