Thanks for the photos. It is exciting to see them in real settings other than from the press photos. The license plate says Kenton County, Kentucky. I guess this is how the base model looks like with its default 18" wheels?

Default Very nice, from Kentucky?

Thanks for posting this. I am liking the looks of those wheels better than the 20". I am thinking they will ride better as well. I brightened up one image a bit. Nice, however, I am thinking that silver is the color for me and I want AVS. I am looking for a smooth ride. I can live with that grill if I get the ride I want.

I agree with the wheels. I'll be getting a white F-Sport when available and I think they would look better than the darker F-Sport wheels, and a heck of a lot easier to clean.

These are 20" wheels buddy. Smallest size is 19" if I recall correctly. They'll be standard fit on the mid range models and no cost options on top models

Wow, sexy in white! Lexus is once again going to sell an absurd amount of RX's!

As someone who has been actively looking at the upcoming refreshed ES350 (though still preferring AWD), my thoughts have changed since seeing these pics. We bought a new 2014 Highlander Limited last year and I must say it's still a very powerful vehicle even with the carryover V6. The new RX (being a tad smaller) may be even better with the same V6 ( though admittedly I'm unsure of the weight difference). This is IMO the most masculine looking RX to date.

That does seem to look different from the video on RX 200T I saw that demos the sequential signal.

The new RX350 will not have a carryover engine that is in the Highlander, the RX350 will have a tweaked version pumping out 300hp. So with less weight and more power, I t'll perform much better than the Highlander.

The look is starting to grow on me. Can't wait to see/drive one.

Sequential seems to be an option on non L or F Sport models?…
Here's what I've found somewhere…

True, this has to be a base base one...the headlights aren't even triple LED.

Looks great in a dealers private driveway. I wonder what the story is with this vehicle. How many other dealers are driving around these prototypes? Notice they covered the badges on the rear hatch. Why bother?

Nice find! I was expecting the LED triple beam headlight to be standard on 4RX, I guess that was a wishful thinking
