Full redesigned LC / LX next year

[GX-R]

There is a thread on CLUBLEXUS which discusses the Future of Lexus. It gets updated by a forum member who works at a Lexus dealership and attends the meetings they have to discuss future plans and releases. This is the latest update from the 18th of September.....

UPDATE: 9/18/2014

- 4RX will NOT have a third row
- 4RX will look sharp and dynamic like the NX
- 4RX will continue using a 'Mouse' Remote Touch because 'Legacy' buyers feel comfortable with it. New RTI will seemingly be used on 'younger and sportier' Lexus models
- Separate 3-row crossover to come to fruition (GX future uncertain - mum was the word when asked if a TX/GX could co-exist)
- Full redesigned LX next year to compete better with Range Rover, GL and Escalade

Can you provide a link so I can read the whole discussion. Thanks.

I don't see how that's possible. Something would have been leaked and there would have been sitings of test mules by now.
The LX 570 and Land Cruiser were being spied in 2006 and early 2007.
I think a 2017 or 18 is possible.

I think Beno would be pretty in-the-know. In other threads he indicates (if I recall correctly) that there would be no redesign for 2015.

There will be no redesign of the Land Cruiser.

There could be a mid-series redesign for the LX. Though I have not heard anything.

I have read several articles over the past couple years that have incinuated that Lexus will attempt to further pull the LX570(or should I say the replacemnt for it) away from the LC200, maybe if this is true(I would be shocked at any thing before 2017) this is their first step in doing so! My guess is the LX570 would go IRS, get rid of the body on frame etc... just my 2 cents based on no real facts
