2010 Lexus RX Images Leaked

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.

  • Theflyersfan Keep the car. It's reliable, hasn't nickeled and dimed you to death, and it looks like you're a homeowner so something with a back seat and a trunk is really helpful! As I've discovered becoming a homeowner with a car with no back seat and a trunk the size of a large cooler, even simple Target or Ikea runs get complicated if you don't ride up with a friend with a larger car. And I wonder if the old VW has now been left in Price Hill with the keys in the ignition and a "Please take me" sign taped to the windshield? The problems it had weren't going to improve with time.
  • SPPPP I don't think it's a sign of pressure from external competition, but rather a healthy sign of letting practicality trump triumphalism on the assembly floor. Does a 1-piece casting make sense? Imagine the huge investment (no pun intended) in the tooling for that structure. Now imagine that a change in regulation or market conditions requires a change to the structure. You're going to build all the tooling all over again? Why not use "gigacasting" selectively, to build right-sized modules that can be assembled simply and repeatably? Changing 1/3 of the tooling is much less costly. Additionally, it makes the vehicles repairable, instead of being subject to total loss in a minor accident.
  • Formula m Oh my first Ford learning experience was with a sales manager who is a former stripclub manager with a Satan’s choice tattoo on his forearm… was very eye opening. You can imagine how he has contributed to Ottawa over his long tenure with Ford. Hopefully A.I. gives a different experience
  • Slavuta This video explains the whole situation and also goes back when Musk was laughing off chinese companies
  • SPPPP Nice vehicle. My only fear with driving it so little is rodent damage - but I guess keeping it in the garage cuts that risk down a lot.
