For the sake of completion, I'm reposting the teaser image and the video for the forums:

I guess the first thing I notice from the image is how close that rear wrap-around-window to the Japanese rendering from last month:

Looks very promising! Personally,I'd be very happy if the 4ws system from the GS F Sport was made an option on the new RX.

Wow -- brightening up the image certainly reveals more than expected:

It will not look like the X6: see illustration above.

Wow! . . . Thanks for teasing out the details krew

I see what I like, I like what I see. So far so good. This could be my 2012 RX replacement.

Lexus is on a roll, love it! What's next, production LC/SC?

 

[OlFius]

A global debut on the 1st of April ?! On my birthday ?!
Thank you, Lexus. You may deliver it at my local dealer....
The side already looks beautiful. Hopefully the rest, I can not wait ...

Exactly the same, right ?

Excuse Lexus for controlling the luxury SUV world.

The RX already was controlling the space like Black Dynamite. The NX has already done an incredible amount of damage, and is #2 is sales, and the #1 dynamic leader. Now, the final piece of the puzzle is the 7-passenger TX in 2017.

The competition just isn't ready for this much ownage!

Wow, this looks extremely promising. I love what looks to be RC-style tail lights; very sharp indeed!

Wow...now you have the tough decision between the NX and RX...how do you choose?! They both are awesome!

 

[krew]

Exactly the same, right ?

It's uncanny how similar they are -- someone was definitely feeding the magazine some pretty solid details.

Will come down to owner needs, though I also expect the RX to have a slightly softer presence than the NX.

The sheer size of the RX will belittle an NX in terms of presence IMO

Yep, as I mentioned before 95% correct. Some details are different including the rear lights, the rear wiper is hidden akin to the current RX and it has chrome around the windows instead of the black plastic in the spy shots. A few proportions are odd too as well as the cut at the bottom of the doors.
