Live: Watch the Fourth-Generation Lexus RX Reveal

I'm in love! Glad I opted to wait for the new RX over the NX.

Great exterior and interior. the floating roof turns out to better than I thought, And Lexus deliberately leaves some good stuff (panoramic roof, 360 degree view monitors etc) to RX instead of NX in U.S. market. Interested to see the pricing soon.

I am amazed that no more new photos leaking out even on the day of unveiling, right before the announcement. Lexus has kept the secret and suspense really well.

Absolutely shocking -- when was the last time Lexus was able to prevent leaks a production model, especially one without a concept version?

Countdown less than 30 mins...

It goes to show how critical the RX is to Lexus and how important it is to keep this tight-lipped!

Yup, totally agreed. The new one does have a great visual impact. Good execution at unveiling from the Lexus side

How many of us are at work and booked a 1-person meeting to block our calendars, locked up in a room, or took the day off LOL !

LOL. You sound so much like myself. I pulled my assistant to cover me for this event.

Honestly, I like it but don't love it. The exterior is solid, much sportier than the current vehicle. Makes the current RX looked bloated. Wild new wheels on the hybrid! They want you to notice the floating roof with the chrome surround. Going for a lower, wider look. The F-Sport tries too hard with the lower diffuser lip in front. Take that off.

The interior looks huge, and Autoblog says they will offer 3rd row seating in the 2017 RX. The rear doesn't seem made for more passengers, but if you can move the 2nd seat up, maybe. This tells me the TX is more like 3 years away, and they need something to hold you over in 3rd row crossovers.

Wonder here pricing starts. I figure close to $45k.

It already sells 100k+ a year, so how much growth is there in this model? We'll see next year. If this hits dealers in November, it might push lexus over the top to #1 in U.S. Luxury sales.

I love it. Makes the soccer mom SUV look cool! I'd actuallywould definitely drive it...in either non or F-sport model.

I'm wondering if Jeff Bracken made a mistake describing the new safety system+, when he said the dynamic radar cruise control could bring the car to a complete stop.. Reading the recent description and details posted there is no mention of completely stopping the vehicle. Any thoughts on this comment by Bracken?

Are you 14 or 15 hours ahead? . . . we changed to daylight savings unusually early this year.

It was 00:10 on Thursday morning when the live stream started.
