The new Toyota Mark X made its debut at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. The RWD Mark X is equipped with a 3.5-litre V6 engine as well as a 2.5-litre V6. It features a sporty mesh grille and a tri-lense lamp layout for the headlamps and taillights. Shades of 2009 Camry and current Lexus IS give it an attractive if not slightly conservative design.

Toyota says the 2.5-litre will achieve a 0 - 100mkm/h sprint time of 8.4 seconds and return 7l/100km (49.2 mpg US) in fuel efficiency figures.

Equipment installed includes an HDD navigation system with Map on Demand, Radar Cruise Control and Hill-start Assist Control. Minimum prices start at ¥2.38 million (€17,594/ US$26,080) for the 250G F Package version.

The Mark X is bigger than a Lexus IS, but a bit smaller than a Lexus GS.

Don't be fooled? This is nowhere near the IS. Even the interior is way too different.

Though I'm not surprised with (Toyota/Lexus)comments from you.

I am sure has the Lexus ES floor pan and running gear. Still better looking then the last modeland hope it comes to China like the last model under the Reiz name not Mark X.

The Mark X is RWD, the Lexus ES is based on the FWD Camry platform.
