Sales for the 2023 and 2024 are significantly higher than the previous generation. I remember when the 2016 came out with the front grille and hated it. Said would never buy one. Bought one in 2018 and loved the styling. When compared to the 2015 and earlier much better looking. The 2015 became boring looking.

Had a 2017 RX 450h and loved it. Traded in with 91,000 trouble free miles. Was on the waiting list for five months for a 2024 RX 350h. Wanted either iridium or pearl white. Ended up with the iridium with macadamia and bamboo wood. Gorgeous combo. Just yesterday got it back from getting windows tinted and PPF. Got a matte finish film for $75 put on infotainment screen. Incredible the reflection it blocks and fingerprints plus of course a layer of protection. Getting wife's NX screen done next. She had the ppf and windows tinted a year ago on her 23 NX. At that time didn't even think about getting the screen done.

I think the old front grill looks great for lower flatter cars (eg, the LC500), but aren't as attractive in higher boxier CUVs and SUVs. Just my preference of course.

Nar it won’t. Look at all the latest Toyotas and the LBX and GX. The RX is the odd duckling. Refresh will definitely flatten the nose.

LBX nose looks like a softened RX nose to me. GX is all different but it's also boxy all over so I'd expect the nose to be boxy as well.

I think it is simply gorgeous. I've had mine for 11 months and I still stop and stare at it when approaching it in a parking lot, disbelieving that this gorgeous car is mine. The sculpted lines are so stunning.

I have the iridium, too. it's stunning. What color is your interior? Mine is black but I do keep wondering if I should have chosen red. It's so pretty.

Not sure who you talking to, but I did notice I never mentioned the interior in the OP.

I have a pearl white exterior matched with a macadamia/bamboo interior. I love the combo.

Iridium with your interior combo and agree it is gorgeous.
