The design for the 2016 Lexus RX is certainly provocative, but it isn’t really surprising. After all, when Lexus slotted the all-new for 2015 NX beneath it, the smaller and deeply chiseled crossover strongly suggested that its larger and segment leading RX kin would get a similar makeover.
Even so, the changes to the RX (350 gasoline model; 450h hybrid) are nothing less than dramatic. This model, known originally in 1998 as the RX 300, then as the RX 330 in 2004 before assuming its present RX 350 mantle in 2007, will have you sit up and take notice. It is all part of an extraordinary styling direction Lexus has been rolling out in recent years to make its models evocative, as it moves away from its long-staid construct.

Its all-embracing comportment is assertive, with powerful lines, a muscular stance, and an interesting “floating roof” look also present. Knifelike angles combine with artistic wheels to provide a look that is at once athletic as it is …show more content…
Certainly, Lexus could have slapped something together, but they did not — flowing leather and chrome lines place an accent on the layout. At the top is the navigation screen, which sits in an alcove. Beneath that is an analog clock followed by rows of knobs, buttons and switches to control climate, audio and other functions. Between the seats is the transmission shifter, cup holders, and the mouse-like controller for various vehicle functions.
As before, the F Sport trim level returns. F Sport should not be confused with “F” as the former provides a decorative upgrade without the corresponding performance boost. Choose the latter, which is not available in the RX, and you get an extra measure of performance thrown in.
In any case the interior of the F Sport brings with it several enhancements of note including a perforated leather-wrapped shift lever, a three-spoke steering wheel with F Sport badge, and aluminum accents. As for the exterior, the F Sport brings in a mesh grille, exclusive 20-inch, 10-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and other enhancements. In addition to the standard RX colors, Ultra White is exclusive to the F Sport

One of the most significant changes may soon appear at the marque’s apex. The LS is the first Lexus model and is also the flagship for the brand, a full-size sedan nearing the end of its fifth generation. A new model is in the planning stages, a huge hint of what that vehicle may look like was revealed at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show this fall.

For Harley-Davidson%u2122 enthusiasts, there is an F-150 Harley-Davidson%u2122 edition. It features distinctive interior and exterior accents and unique Harley-Davidson badging.

Last month, at the world famous Detroit Auto Show, the Ford Motor Company revealed details on one of its best-selling models, the Ford Fusion. Scheduled to be available for purchase this summer, its newest version is the 2017 Ford Fusion Sport. While the revitalized model boasts 325 horsepower and a V6 turbo engine, automotive enthusiasts say the biggest takeaway from the scheduled launch is its high performance suspension system, which allows the model to practically "jump" over potholes, multiple news outlets reported, including Fox News.
The front grill is split horizontally, giving the front a distinctive appearance. A sharply molded hood adds an aggressive, athletic look. Base models include a 16 inch wheel with optional 17 and 18 inch upgrades. Optional trim packages include rocker moldings, a rear spoiler, and fog lamps, creating an even more distinctive, European look. Standard color options tend to be understated and conservative, ranging from basic black, deep red, ice blue, and the like.
CONSTRAINED EDITION F-TYPE PROJECT 7 AND IT APPEARS THAT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE AUTOMAKER IS WORKING ON AS WE NOW HAVE SPY SHOTS SHOWING A F-TYPE PROTOTYPE THAT'S MORE EXTREME THAN ANYTHING WE'VE SEEN.
Having 318 HP on tap from an all aluminum V-6 is easy to get use to. Although it suffered from poor fuel economy and I hated that it had [different size tires on the rear] the car was a pleasure to drive. What I liked most about the first generation SRX Cadillac that changed when they moved to the second generation is the rear wheel drive.
The rivalry has started since the first generation of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and the first Subaru WRX were set on the track, and in the market. Both the 2008 Evo and the 2008 WRX STI are very similar, but they are also very distinguished from each other. Like human mixed-martial artists, the Lancer Evolution and WRX STI are multitalented warriors that shine in all forms of head to head matches. Both of them see all types of competition around the world they can race in anything from rally to enduro racing, autocross to circuit racing, even drifting and street racing. When comparing the two cars in speed, overall design, and dollar-for-dollar, these two are the most functional and complete sport sedans in the world. At the end it will
The exterior of the 2015 Mustang is a thing of beauty, and the interior hasn't been neglected either. The Premium version includes leather seats that are extremely comfortable, and Ford chose to add some retro touches to the dash, such as the large tachometer. The driver information center offers the information indivduals want and need, and Ford included a pushbutton start, a feature that has never been offered on the Mustang
The F series second generation changed the truck wheel base on the trucks. The ride quality was improved by adding a longer front and rear leaf springs. These trucks were still able to haul the same size loads as before. Ford completely redesigned the outside of the truck. This version of the truck had bulging front fenders that were connected directly to a large hood. In 1953, the windshield was replaced with a piece of glass that curved more than the windshield of the former trucks. This improved visibility. The rear window in the truck was also made
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC): The Lexus RX 330 Line 1 On the day of April, 25th 2000, Greig Arnold found himself both anxious and excited as he approached the offices of Toyota’s worldwide headquarters in Toyota City, Japan. He was about to meet with the Chairman of global operations, Ikebuchi Nakatani, at the world’s third largest automaker. His hope was to convince the Chairman to support his company’s bid for the new Lexus RX 330 line, which would be the first of its kind manufactured outside of Japan. This would not be easy. Greig, along with the President of the division, was part of a delegation from the Toyota subsidiary in Canada, the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC), which was 100% owned by the Toyota Motor
Reinventing oneself is always challenging and a bit scary, which qualities to keep and which ones to change or discard. The same is true for a car manufacturer, and now Lexus is taking on a similar challenge with the reinvention of its luxury crossover of the 2016 RX 350. The first major change is the sleeker body, and then its large spindle grille in front that almost resembles a Star Wars mask. Subtle it's not. That combined with a sharply angled windshield and sculptured sides make this luxury crossover SUV more carlike, and that's good. The high beams, low beams, and taillights are LEDs, and the power liftgate can be opened with the wave of a hand, or an foot, at the Lexus logo on the hatch. Yet all this uber style doesn't take away from some other significant changes. Once inside, the cabin is spacious with plenty of light and air, even though it looks low from the outside. It’s almost five inches longer and
Although Toyota invented this new hybrid vehicle more than ten years ago, it did not offer the car to the USA consumers immediately. The main reason was that Toyota was aware of the new technology challenges. While Toyota was on the market research and new product development, other companies were focusing on merger and acquisition. Brand recognition, technology changes and improvement take several years to finish and Toyota wanted to launch a product which has cleared all the possible obstacles such as space, efficiency, speed, safety, weight which can meet all consumers ' expectations.
