2018 Lexus RX L Delivers Third-row Seating, New LX Cargo Variant Removes It

One of the biggest gripes when it comes to crossovers is that they swept in to replace minivans without offering much in the way of utility. Traditional SUVs are boxy behemoths, capable of holding as many children as you can produce.

As we learned yesterday, the midsize Lincoln MKX will soon be no more, replaced by a vehicle that's very similar in appearance but definitely not in name. Nautilus, the Jules Verne-inspired moniker that graces the crossover's flanks starting next summer, is a signal that real names are back, baby. Take note, rival automakers.
