A Japanese brochure blunder has caused Lexus to seemingly leak pictures of its new RX, ahead of the car’s launch. We weren’t supposed to see the 4×4 until the November 2008 LA auto show, but we’ve got the photos of the new Lexus RX for you to see.

If these are the genuine pictures, the new RX differs little from older model. As is the trend for 4×4s, the new RX appears to be longer and wider, possibly to accommodate a third row of seats.  Also expect a development of Lexus’s advanced front lighting system, the pictures revealing multiple light clusters, within the headlamps.

The new RX’s interior, however, is recognisably different - with a cockpit showing sweeping lines and big information displays.
