  | 2010 Lexus RX leaked! Thanks to an astute Autoblog tipster, we have our very first look at the upcoming redesigned 2010 Lexus RX ahead of its official unveiling at the LA Auto Show next month. As you can see in the gallery below, which show shots from what appears to be a Japanese brochure, the new RX will retain the same basic shape and styling cues as the current model, but has been gone over with some fine grit sandpaper to smooth out the rough edges. In traditional Lexus fashion, while the new RX may look similar to the old one, we're absolutely certain every body panel is all new. The redesigned interior also features a seriously swoopy dash. The new RX is also rumored to be larger than the current model with a longer wheelbase that may accommodate a third row of seating for the first time. We expect a revised version of the current model's 3.5L V6 to be offered, probably with more power and better fuel economy, as well as a new version of the RX400h hybrid. Take a look at the sneak preview in the gallery below and let us know what you think in the comments.       Source: autoblog.com |

| Re: 2010 Lexus RX leaked! Overall - it's a general shape that I find displeasing. The new Toyota Venza shares a similar silhouette and stance. On the other hand, front and interior detailing looks impressive - the grille and headlights look very intricate but tense, somewhat like a Benz would in the late 90s. It's also interesting that Lexus has a "tunnel" center console instead of the very van-like "purse pit" that is in the current RX. All in all, this gets the job done with class, but the stance and profile still a bit lacking compared to competitors like the X55.

| Re: 2010 Lexus RX leaked! The interior really doesn't look like a typical Toyota/Lexus design. Interesting. M
