Talk:Lexus RX

message: Also in 2001 MY the pearl white was dropped and replaced with a more "normal" white. I don't recall the name but when choosing on the lot between MY 2001 vs 2000 I chose 2000 due to the peal white being dropped. Someone please confirm with the Knowledge Center the exact dates and colors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.173.0.179 (talk) 06:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I confirmed this detail through the Lexus Knowledge Center (reference provided in text) and added the following line, "A burgundy exterior color, Venetian Red Pearl, was only offered for 1999-2000 year models." Thank you for the information! Enigma3542002 04:49, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Why also is this section named Lexus RX , when it began as the Toyota Harrier. In fact the Toyota Harrier is still produced. It has not been absorbed into the Lexus Marque like some of the other models. The Harrier then and still is exported to many asian markets , thus i think to have this article headed as Lexus RX is innaccurate Kongkit (talk) 17:49, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Harrier production is now finished, the factories are producing the third generation Lexus RX. The RX from 2009 calendar year onward has no Harrier counterpart, it is now part of the Lexus marque. Sources:   You are right that the Harrier has been sold in Asia; the SLV concept also predated Harrier sales (which then predated RX sales by 3 months) in 1997-1998.

replies: text: Actually this is the last year proposed of the Harrier , but it is still on lots , I asked a friend in Yokohama , also its still available for order and still at dealerships. Thus still on the main site with the hybrid. From what i have read on the site the final date for them is not really known , altho a new Lexus model has been made available.http://toyota.jp/harrier/index.html. Which i guess would put this its last year , 2009Kongkit (talk) 19:27, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: Should the first generation be shown as '1997-2003' or '1998-2003'? The Harrier started production in 1997 and the Lexus RX started production in 1998. They are essentially the same car sold with different badges and the usual trim/options differences that most models have in different markets (Harrier sold in Japan only and the Lexus not sold in Japan).
Does anybody know the production end date of the XU10 (first gen)? The article lists it as 2002 (with no month), yet the section title says '1998-2003' and the next generation started in Feb 2003. Possible answers include: the editor meant the last year of production started in 2002 but didn't realise Wikipedia conventions list this as ending in calendar 2003; or the factory shut down for a few months during production changeover (which is unusual for Toyota).  Stepho  talk  23:52, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  First gen production dates 

message: The provided text, from Lexus: The Relentless Pursuit by Chester Dawson, pointed to specifically a meeting in the spring of 1993. In Japan, spring covers March to May. March 1993, was not part of the second quarter of 1993. Trying to substitute a particular seasonal period (with a generalized quarterly period)], that was specific to the location in question, Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan where these series of events occurred, under guise of MOS:SEASON, does not work suffice when the substitute very much omits portions of the seasonal period. 
Toyota product planners for all one knows, might have had their meeting as early as March of 1993, which is still considered the first quarter of 1993 and also very much part of the Japanese spring of 1993. Thus stating "second quarter of 1993" is too indirect and a poor substitution. The topic at hand is not discussing a global model introduction or market launch, but that of a meeting in one single region, with its own seasons. It might have been autumn 1993 in Australia and surrounding regions, but in Toyota City that time period (March-May) spans the first and second quarters. 
Stating "second quarter", gives the impression that this meeting only happened sometime between April and June 1993. Despite how easily it could be disproved if one came across information that points to the first quarter, which approximately one-third of Q1 is part of spring in Japan. June is not considered spring in Japan, but summer. Point here is that, while "spring" might be too broad, "second quarter" is not accurate and will thus be reverted. User: Stepho-wrs and User: OSX should understand that, while one doesn't want to be insensitive to regional differences, some items really cannot be broadened to accommodate a minority of differing standards.—Carmaker1 (talk) 07:38, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

message: has decided that the Lexus Rx and the Toyota Harrier are different vehicles. Besides changing the badge, how does the RX differ from the Harrier? Are these differences enough to be a different vehicle?  Stepho  talk  00:23, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

message: has done some excellent work finding the new model code. However, it looks like we need to look a little closer at it. From his reference https://lexus.jp/models/rx/pdf/specificationslist.pdf we have:
Model name                      	Model code      	Engine  	options
RX500h "F Sport Performance" AWD	5AA-TALH17-AWTGT	T24A-FTS	hybrid
RX450h+ "version L" AWD         	6LA-AALH16-AWXGB	A25A-FXS	hybrid
RX300 "version L" 2WD (FF)      	5BA-TALA10-AWZGT	T24A-FTS	normal
RX300 "version L" AWD           	5BA-TALA15-AWZGT	T24A-FTS	normal
RX300 "F SPORT"                 	5BA-TALA15-AWZGT	T24A-FTS	normal
In the same way that the Celica/Supra had code A, then the RAV4 had XA (with some weird stuff with the X when using 2 letter engine codes), then the Lexus RX had AL, I now propose that the new code is ALX and not just a reuse of the old AL.
An A25A engine makes it AALx and a T24A engine makes it TALx (much like the old days). Non-hybrid makes it xALA and hybrid makes it xALH.  Stepho  talk  08:05, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

message: is there any articles saying the new RX is made in CAnada or not? Westerosi456H (talk) 16:47, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The last line of the lead section says the RX was built in the  Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada plant. That might be a bit out of date. So follow that link. From there, fidn the offical website (usually listed at teh bottom of the article). Search around on that Toyota website. When you find the up-to-date answer then add that (with the reference URL) to the RX and TMMC articles. Remember that Wikipedia is meant to be expanded by anyone who finds suitable information.  Stepho  talk  00:19, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
