Read this article today that talks about how Lexus CEO Jim Lentz wishes Lexus invested in a 3-row crossover, rather than the RC Coupe.
I would think that this implies that a 3-row crossover is probably in the works from Lexus, though the company has not confirmed anything.
Lexus Three-Row Crossover Wiser than RC Coupe: CEO
Lentz believes a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz GL and Audi Q7 would have been the wiser choice, rather than listening to dealer demands for a sports car.
Still, Lexus doesn't say that it sees the RC as a mistake. It has been relatively successful -- selling more than the flagship LS sedan with 4,258 units through April of this year. Sales for Lexus as a whole have risen by 17 percent compared to last year.“In hindsight, if I was making this decision 10 years ago, seeing what I see today, the three-row [crossover] probably would have been the better play to come out first,” said Lentz. “Strategically that’s a more important vehicle to have than necessarily a lower volume, higher priced image product.”
