Lexus has released photos and a little bit of information on what they will be showing at the Tokyo Motor Show in a couple of weeks and it looks like a new version the RX400h is just around the corner. This V-6 hybrid LF-XH crossover concept carries some hints of the current RX in the greenhouse and window shapes but with a lower roof-line and more aggressive looking stance than the current model. Other than the mention of the hybrid drive-train not much else is known at this point.
