The All New 2010 RX350 & RX450h


I was never too found of the 04-09 body RX series, but the new 2010 models sure do look NICE! Here is a rear shot courtesy of Lexus.

A new available feature that I loved the most was the Heads Up Display (HUD) that helps you see navigation directions, speed and audio information right on the windshield so it is directly in the driver's line of sight!

The front of the RX reminds me of the new Highlander, but overall, the car will be one of the most technologically advanced vehicles on the road.

The all-new 2010 RX 350 will go on sale next February, while the 2010 RX 450h will reach dealerships nationwide in the spring.
