Nothing hugely significant I'd say. Two pairs of the Concept's "Jewel Eye" will probably be replaced by one pair of HIDs, but I think it's safe to say the production version will look like the concept as much as the ILX concept looked like its production version.

Nope. The Jewel Eye LED headlamps are the actual thing. As someone else mentioned, they are already trademarked.

Here is the page listing some features of the RLX:

Something interesting to me is the "Ultra Premium 14-speaker audio system." Will it be manufactured by Panasonic like all the other ELS systems, or will it be completely different?
