Or not actually leaked. But since these are crappy photos of a brochure, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was an actual mistake, rather than covert PR work. Nevertheless, thanks to our friend Mr. Neff at Autoblog, we can see ’em. And on the basis of the blurry photos of photos, I think the next generation RX looks merely ok on the outside, and just awful on the inside. The pursuit of spaceship interiors continues, which will make Barrett-Jackon’s 2050 joint auction of the 2010 Lexus RX450h alongside a 1961 Impala SS.

In the last photo it appears that even Toyota is moving away from touch screen navigation as the screen seems set quite deep, and there appears to be an iDrive like knob on the console. I hope I’m wrong though, touch screen navigation is much easier to use.
Tsk tsk. Why doesn’t Lexus cater to the slightly older crowd = it’s core market? The spage-age interior is weird, ugly, and alienating. I also think the exterior isn’t as pretty as the current one either. The next hybrid is going to be a RX450h, btw.
My biggest question is: why have a shifter at all if it’s going to look(and function) like that? Install pushbuttons or a column shifter already. It’s not like it’s attached to the transaxle anyway.
That interior is scary. Someone’s been conjuring the spirit of Oldsmobile.
The exterior looks A LOT like the Venza. The interior is pretty terrible. Q5 over this any day of the week.
Why even waste the space reporting on this utterly dull car? Reading about the Lexus RX (or taking the time to look at photos of it) gives me about the same pleasure as thumbing through the large print Reader’s Digest in my dentist’s waiting room before going in for a root canal. Which is to say, my automotive enthusiasm runs deep, but I would rather beat myself in the nuts with a brick than read about a Lexus crossover. It might be on the same level as Maytag, but it’s still an appliance, in the same vein as your fridge, your washing machine, or your dishwasher. It’s so decidedly unsexy, inoffensive, metamucil smooth, porky practical pig, and will last the ages to torment the world with its toothy face seemingly forever. It’s probably Consumer Reports’ wettest dream, but not mine, or anyone else who actually takes the time to read about cars, for that matter. This being election season, my vote is for TTAC to cover more BMW, and less Lexus.
If you want more BMW, go to germancarscene.com, but as far as TTAC goes: anything goes, please!
