2010 Lexus RX Spotted Prepping For The Ring


"The quick shooters of KGP managed to capture not one, but two 2010 Lexus RX prototypes. The pair were in Germany to, you guessed it, test at the Nurburgring, which will help serve it well with that key New Trier High School cheerleader demo it's popular with. Immediately noticeable below the tape is a revised nose, which includes sleeker headlights replacing the previous generation's wide-eyed stare. The taillights also seem to have shrunk, reflecting a smoother design that just screams CX-7. Not surprisingly, the whole design was teased with the Lexus LF-Xh concept at Tokyo last year."







MY CHOPS:

Oh geez, they are going to retain the horrific shape. Judging by how awful the latest Land Cruiser looks, my hopes for this SUv aren't high.

the current rx isn't bad. I mean seriously, it is kind of "I am wife of someone who is rich, but wants me to be safe hence buys be Lexus RX instead of MB CLK/SLK/SL, so please pay some respect to me"

Ok, ok, serious now: it is not the exterior they really need to work on. As long as they do introduce some minor changes such as shape of head/rear-lamps, car will remain a best seller.
But they should at least use higher quality plastic. Let's face it, all current Lexus models (with exception of LX) have too much plastic. Not BMW kind of plastic, but... PLASTIC

Yet again this things looks terrible, there is something about the proportion of the RX which just doesn't look right, the current car suffers from this problem and the new one looks to have the same problem. The car looks bloated and dopey.

YAWN, new Hilander with better leather and wood trim. Lexus does need this though, their sales are dropping like a rock.

The Ring? What the hell for?

The Ring? What the hell for? M

So they can legitimately say the car has been tested in the Ring, and put that in the brochures and press releases so Lexus fanboys will be impressed and say this new RX will out handle an X5 or X6 because of that.

I guess, lord knows it hasn't a prayer of outhandling anything from BMW.

Looks like a hopped up ES350. But then I guess that's essentially what it is underneath it all anyway.

 

[coolraoul]

Looks quite bad, especially the front... Well Lexus does not sell its car because of their look anyway.

Very good work andyvalencia, like usual. Impressive!

 

[PHYBENZ]

Every time I see the current one, which is a million times a day, I still can't understand how people can like the looks of this car and pay a premium for a raised camry. This one just continues the ugly tradition

 

[Centurion]

Testing on the ring is pointless since divorced wifes could careless about how quick this car is.
