Default Spy Pic Of Lexus LX500

I was searching the internet for info on the future of the LC nad Lexus LX470 and I found this on the Lexus owners club website. All the news weve been hearing is that the LC will be discontinued and that the LX will continue as a separate model but there is also the news of a sequoia based Lexus SUV.Not sure where they got this picture from but this may be the new Lexus LX500.

Or it could be a ripoff vehicle from china does anyone else have anymore info on this vehicle. I think i also saw this pic as the Lexua LX500.

I would think a new LX would have a lot more curves and slants. The body design is still a little archaic in terms of aerodynamics.

When I saw that photo, it reminded me of the Ssangyong vehicles I see down here every other month.

Good that it's a chop, it looks kinda cheap for a Lexus . . .

It could be a photoshop based on the Ssangyong. I forget which one but i remember they had an SUV that really looked alot like this. I just happened to run across this lets hope the LX looks very different from this.

Looks to be better suited as a Highlander or something.

When the next LX comes out it most likely will be called the LX 570. Since the next generation Tundra will get a 5.7 liter V8; it should carry over to the Lexus side. I'm sure we all look forward to the next generation LX...

I've never really gotten into the LX model.. To me it looks like a upgraded land cruiser.. Looks like there's plenty of room for your friends and long trips..

It may be an updated Landcruiser just like the ES is an updated Camry but at least Lexus is starting off with two great vehicles as their basis for the LX 470 and the ES 350...

Don't get me wrong, i'm not bashing the LX or any other Lexus or Toyota model. Simply stateing that the reason he feels its an upgraded Land Cruiser is beucase it is an upgraded Land Cruiser. Speaking of the ES350, I saw my first one on the road yesterday... Wonder how long before my dealer loans me out one of thsoe instead of the 330's when I take my IS350 in for service.
