Is Lexus Planning a Cross Over Onslaught?

America's best-selling luxury brand is conducting market research on:

A seven-passenger crossover larger than the RX 330.

A compact crossover smaller than the RX 330.

A Lexus hybrid with a unique body style.

The fact that Lexus admits to "studying" these segments is a strong indication that it plans to produce the vehicles.

"Lexus does not intend to stop growing," said Bob Carter, the division's general manager. "We have not reached our limit."

This sounds interesting:, a Lexus hybrid with a unique body style. As expected with the new Li-ion battery and cheaper cost, in next couple years, Toyota/Lexus will push hard on their hybrid models. Now the gas price is close to $3.00 again.

This 2003 concept is as old as the Infiniti FX.

Except the Infiniti will still look very modern and up to date even though it came out in 2003. Plus it looks better than this cross over concept.
