Definitely looks so much nicer than the outgoing model.

I am so looking forward to see it live.

Congrats! What do they think of the bold styling?

 

[Robbie Abruzzese]

At Lexus just a few hours ago for my GX's service and they had server all parked right out front, the lady said they just got off the truck a few hours prior to my arrival and let me say it looks great in person, everything feels so familiar yet so new. It really is a good change. Not bad

Darth Vader...I like that comparison a lot!

 

[De Faulk]

Definitely the most sexy suv in its class: I've never been a fan of the previously generation basically because the rear end/tailights less aggressive than in the still gorgeous 2nd gen even if I gotta say that the refresh in 2013 changed in better the style. But this one is just amazing: It looks like not really just the 4th generation from 2016 but the fifth from 2024...It is so bold that makes quite laughable the new, bland Audi Q7.

Really ? No die-hard fans of Lexus in Nashville ?
You mentioned that the first RX just drive out of the garage, not ?
I bought mine a 4-5 months before I ever saw him, based on some pictures.... At that moment I only knew the price

I live in Utah and I picked mine up from there on Friday. Luckily, I was the first 16 RX F-sport model owner in Utah. This car is a grat car. I'm toally enjoying it

Off to a great start!

I expect these to be flying off the lots.

Picked up my Nightfall Mica/Parchment 350 on Friday. Already have 350+ miles on it and the overall comfort level far exceeds the 2013 it replaced. Some great new items (automatic cornering lights, automatic high beams, panoramic view camera system, etc.). The styling is on the money.

Nice MRM FSport at a local dealer here

Great to hear!

We have a Nightfall Mica fully loaded that was a lot of fun to play around with.

Only two little things I've seen so far that are a little confusing. They're actually back to the popup door locks? That seems a little bit less than luxury to me, hah. And under the wrist rest for the nav screen, there's now a slick little phone holder... only it barely holds an iPhone 5, so iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy, etc, are definitely not going to be used there. Pick yourself up an iPod touch now if you want to utilize that space, hah.

I also took a video of how the new 360 panorama view works for those of us that haven't seen it yet, but youtube is being dumb so I haven't been able to upload it easily.

Pop up locks? Has Lexus ever used them before?

Not in the last 5 years that I've been around them, hah. That's why I was confused!

Also, panoramic video is up:

I might be in the minority, but I like pop-up locks, even on luxury cars. For one, they are a very traditional, tactile touch to the interior. Secondly, they are a very quick visual indicator as to whether the vehicle, is you know, actually locked .
