I'm not diggin the front end. Kinda looks like a CRV based on the body lines though.

not bad... not bad. Kinda like the sleep tail lights but not the rest of the rear bumper lines.
This one features 2.5l v6 + 105kw electric motor 217hp 280lb-ft on a cvt or a 3.5l v6 with 314hp 380lb-ft 8sp tranny. not bad!

That Lexus LF-NX back end looks like it's crying blood. I guess the back end saw the front end.

That Lexus RC is amazing looking. Except for the back end (probably won't make it to production with the weird vents), it is a proper successor to the first generation SC. I think it would sell really well, especially if they give up on the IS coupe, which is awful looking.

The Levorg looks great, but I hope they change the name... just no Alpha-Numerics please... I've had enough of the random letters and numbers that mean nothing. I'm looking at you Infinity.

The Vezel is.. meh.

The LF-NX is ugly.

The Subaru Luvorg looks really good, and looks production ready. Could this be the next Outback?

The Honda Vezel doesn't really interest me much.

The RC300H looks awesome, although I'm surprised to see the Nike swooshes on the front. With as much negativity as those received on the IS, I would have though Lexus would have done away with them. The crease line above the front wheel wells looks a bit misplaced as well. Optional 4.6 V8 or forced induction 6 cylinder would be very welcome. Otherwise, it looks great!

I'm digging the RC 300h. The others.. not so much.

The Honda looks good for what it is, but at the end of the day that's just a CUV. The first Lexus was super ugly. The Subi didn't stand out either. I was hoping it was the new WRX concept. :)

I'm sure the Honda and Subi are both good cars though. I'm just not the target demographic for those.

Thanks for not posting a pic of the BRZ wagon. Shooting Brakes have the strange ability to give me a near instant crisis.

I got an email from Subaru about new things for 2014 and it included the following:

Subaru Levorg Concept (http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013/11/subaru-levorg-concept-revealed-as-a-sport-wagon-for-japan.html)

and the

Subaru-concept BRZ station wagon.html (http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013/11/subaru-cross-sport-design-concept-is-a-brz-station-wagon.html)

Although that doesn't seem like much of a wagon.

I see some similarities. The rear bumpers/exhaust are almost universal.
