  1. All new RX have been unveiled on the New York motorshow,

    Short video from autoguide.com,

    http://youtu.be/hsP-h2yZ4bI

    From auto blog:

    http://www.autoblog.com/2015/04/01/2016-lexus-rx-350-450h-new-york-2015/

    Should arrive in Australia by 2016?

    Looks like they kept the 5 seaters configuration, not going 7 seaters

    Like,

    - Huge 12.3" BMW style head unit screen

    - new design steering wheel (similiar with BMW M-Sport design)

    - first gen remote touch interface

    - panoramic roof

    - 8-speed auto transmission standard for 3.5L engine

    - fresh interior design & seats design:

    - L-Design head and tail lights

    - Implementation of the triple LED head light with the Nike swoosh LED is the better one than the NX / RC / IS (more integrated look)

    - F-Sport 20" wheels looks great

    Con,

    - Black D-Pillar- they didnt implement it properly like Land Rover cars

    - Still no option for 7 Seaters

    - Front fog lamp placement

    - The new engine got DI now, but still lack behind others

    Overall, i think it will be still very popular and big seller in US market..

  2. For a 2 turbo litre engine, I would say it's pretty good,

    it's definitely not tuned for high performance, a bit more safe / balanced set-up (performance & economy)

    On the Eco and Normal, I would say it felt lazy/heavy/normal.. not too much power unless you slam the pedal to the floor to accelerate,

    but when change it to Sport & Sport +, felt completely different..the sweet rev range is from around 1500 rpm.. which is typical turbo engine i guess...

    I'm just happy the power's there when you need it...(as long as you don't forget to change the Drive Mode settings though..)

  3. Had a read of the reviews for the NX300h, a lot of complains about the CVT noise and struggling with the engine.. Not sure why they didnt put the similiar engine like RX450h

    Curious whether the 200T will have similar issue with Audi's 2.0 turbo Petrol engine as well (oil rising issue)
