5th gen RX merged rumor and launch threads
#301
I felt some exclusivity on the road when I bought my 2017 in late 2016. Now they’re literally every corner. I can safely say that I cannot not see a 4th gen RX on any of my driving trip.
I think it will continue to sell well. I’m very excited to see it in person.

Regarding the RX plug-in that Lexus states will be shown 'at a later date'. Anyone think this may have a larger capacity battery for a longer range & more HP, and maybe quicker charging also? If they were going to use basically the same setup as in the NX I don't see why they wouldn't have previewed this model along with the others.

The gentleman stated that he drove a new GS last year and his location is in Ohio. Sounds like he has mistaken it for something else since GS stopped production in 2020.

A BMW M440i xDrive can do 0-60 in less than 4.0s.
My point is, Lexus is not known for their 0-60 time.

^one of my good friends work as a service advisor for my local dealership and he says out of all the Lexus(s) he encountered, its always the first year that has the most problems. 2016 RX' and 17's being the worst. Even so, my 2017 (besides the squeaks) have been flawless mechanically. Also he said its usually after the mid cycle refresh that they fix "identified" issues that aren't covered by TSB/recalls/etc.

I always liked the RX, the rear is nice. The new front end is awful. It's like they took a step backwards. I hate it as much if not more than my wife's NX over bite front end.
I understand why they are doing this... they are slowly getting us into the "no grill" era, but instead of doing such an ugly job, why not just make the entire grill smaller? That would be a much nicer look. IE: The original RX's grill was super small.. I don't understand why the grills anymore on cars are so gigantic. They take up the entire front end of the car.
The hood line is also hideous, they should have had teh seem at the very front rather than 6 inches backand you see a horizontal line right at the front top portion of the hood. That could have been executed much better.
Love Lexus, but I just don't understand what they are doing sometimes and it seems like no one is saying "this doesn't look right", they are all in their own bubble and not getting feedback.

I like the new MID system, seats and other features but the front end is more lower end styling, egress and ingress locking system isn't my cup of tea.
