Gotta say while I wish there was a hybrid now to put Lexus in it's place, this will do as it is really nice.

Nice capure Chris.

Nice! Liking the new nose...

No need for a hybrid at the prices an SRX or a Lexus RX are selling for these days. A hybrid would be a poor value. Besides, that is what the Chevy Volt is for, even though it is an E-REV not a hybrid.

This car would look much better without the huge, dopey headlights.

The finer eggcrate grille fixes my biggest problem with its looks.

Bimmer 325, I have to totally disagree with you, you been looking at those poorly made German cars too long.

The new grille visually lightens up the sheer heft of the front end on this vehicle, which always seemed ready to tip up on its nose to me. Slimmer headlights would have been a nice change, as well imo, which would work to change the proportion of the front view from "high and narrow" to "lower and wider".
