SRX Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Have any of you seen or heard anything about potential changes to the 2012 RX 350? Debating whether to buy a 2011 or wait for the 2012 model.

The RX's V6 will soon have to adopt DFI, and thereby a significant gain in FE and HP/torque. If not 2012 then....soon. Or we may soon see an RX250. With adoption of DFI the new 187HP I4 in the Venza may be deemed powerful enough for use in a Lexus, maybe even an AWD Lexus. I would love to see a hybrid AWD Venza using a new 200HP DFI Atkinson cycle I4. AWD implemented with the new electromechanical clutch, not an extra electric motor.
