Even the non F-Sport, love the grill, they finally got it right.

Like I said too, same engine. DI and 30 more horses, but same engine.

Wow! Lexus hit it out the park in terms of design. This thing looks great. Excited for the high res pics too.

Also interested in the new multimedia interface, with the return of the enter button.

Edit: FULL SCREEN MAPS. On that glorious 12.3" display. Finally.

Crappy preview.

I do like the non F-Sport better.
Love the new options and more power.

Both 350 and 450h will have 300hp. Great for the 350, but a bit disappointing for the 450h. Not sure if I see a big jump in mpg over the old 450h, even with the atkinson cycle.

-No mentioning of 3rd row, although Autoblog says it might come in 2016?
-Plastic wheel arches look terrible
-Rear entertainment system looks tacky
-AVS offered for the first time (yes!)

That interior just doesn't have the Lexus ambiance to it anymore

Love the look which was my main concern. Lexus did a super job of moving the RX design forward without overdoing it for their wide RX customer base. Now the long wait to buy one!

Better take good care of your old Lexus I suppose.

I think the car looks great inside and out. The interior (from the limited pics there are) looks modern, high quality, unique and luxurious without being stodgy or out of date.
