Anyway great additions, if true, to new RX. RX has always been Lexus vehicle besides LS that brings out something new that other models adopt later on

Sounds like a lot of good upgrades, but I'm not liking the temp spare tire on an SUV.

lol on the sport suspension though.

i mean lexus' definition of "sport" is not as hardcore as other brands. so im sure the sport tuned suspension will be the "what its supposed to be" suspension.

Good information, im suprised why VDIM is a optional equipment when it is standard in a 20k RAV-4??? seems bizzare, hey toyota is a little crazy sometimes!!

Lowers the base price for advertising even though no one will actually be able to buy one at that price.

The RX design is soooo played out and old . I cant believe they kept the new design so similar again. So did infiniti. I still think it looks like a egg and looks very feminine

I'm still confused about the exclusion of leather seats as standard equipment. Seems rather un-Lexus like to do that (we'll slightly ignore the late IS300 and its weird seats for a moment)

of course...

new equipment looks awesome, looks very real too - for instance USB port and support for bluetooth music streaming will be included in new Avensis in Europe as well.

I want that RX450h from that equipment look.... on-demand AWD sounds awesome in this day and age... I want new RX now even better than before.

Rav4 has VSC+... And hybrid RX will probably have VDIM while standard versions get VSC+...

In Canada, the base IS250 comes with fabric seats as standard, leather is an extra cost option.

If I'm not mistaken, the ES comes standard with cloth (at least it did with the '07) but actually finding one would be difficult. As mentioned before, it makes for a low base price for advertising purposes.

Finding any Lexus with cloth (in the U.S. at least) is about as likely as seeing a Caribou in Manhattan.
