It's pulling the RX with a (hard to see) wire, so it looks fast going around the ring... :) Think I would prefer an X5 or X6...

One word: Diesel. It would boost European sales as it would be cheaper than the overpriced hybrid, there must be a suitable engine here like a 2.2 D4D from a RAV4?

The Toyota 2.2litre D4D is currently available in 2 guises. The 148 hp and the 175 hp. The latter is known as the T180. I’ve experienced the T180 diesel in the RAV4 and Avensis. The T180 is very noisy, agricultural and not really suited for a Lexus-branded luxury vehicle. Toyota also fit this engine in the IS220d. In a What Car group road test with Audi, BMW and Mercedes, the T180 was the slowest, the noisiest, the thirstiest and the dirtiest. Not surprisingly the IS220d came last. The 148 hp diesel may not be powerful enough.
