If you are able to walk away with a new NX with around 38,500(everything included), why buy a RX for 45,000?

My guess is that the TX that is replacing the GX in 2016 will be somwhere in the 60-65k range. The GX currently starts at 50k and the next model up (the LX) starts at 82k.

That will leave room for Lexus to move the RX up to about 45k and add thrid row seating. This will be perfect for stealing sales from Acura's number 1 selling MDX.

Both BMW and Lexus have strong pro growth plans, I don't see Lexus overtaking either of them. In fact I see Audi making a better push towards the top. Lexus is the Japanese Cadillac.

Audi really needs to do something with it's lease programs. Currently the residual on an A4 36 month lease at 10k miles a year is 53%
