2012 Rx 350


Recommended Posts

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.
