Was hoping the RX would show up at the Geneva auto show. I guess we won't see anything until next month.

Still under testing - looks pretty much finished. All credit goes to NPSC303 for these shots.







Cant really see much else apart from the fact that this looks to be an F-Sport model looking at the wheels but the interior is cream which is at odds with that. Could just be a Luxury model with F-Sport wheels I guess

Great work NPSC303...better than a lot of "professional" spy shots I've seen!

Rumor has it the new RX will have the GS big screen Nav set up which would be nice.

Thanks They really didn't like me taking those pictures. The side shot shows the driver grabbing the radio to let the chase car know Once that happened they both slowed down to about 35mph (in the middle of Interstate 75) and the chase car (infiniti) got right in front of the RX. I also slowed down to take a few side mirror shots before driving away.

Photos were taken with an ancient Blackberry Pearl 9100

but looking forward to see the rx reveal. from the pic it looks a bit more conventional than the current one, and maybe a bit wider.

I have my heart on the GX and this is the one thing that I really dislike. I too wonder why they did it this way and if it's even possible to replace it with a color coded one.

If everything was neatly tucked up and out of sight, you would not have the flat rear floor (and extra leg room). Honda seems to have given up the flat rear floor; only Toyota continues with that, it seems.

I'm assuming that this tailpipe issue is just some pre-production thing. It looks bad like this, is noticeable, and probably would have more chance of being damaged. Hard to believe that Lexus can't fit this up underneath better than this without having to redesign the floor. I'm betting that the production versions won't have this.
