Default LX vs GX

LX570 vs GX460, which is better? Why?

I am having lots of trouble finding a LX570, so that's a con for the LX.

GX460 has a tiny engine, so that's a con for the GX.

LX is more luxury, bigger/more room, smoother ride, looks better. But the GX is nice also.

I already have a LX470 and two LX570s, I know the LX in and out
Sell me on the GX, I like how it's smaller and tighter, but I wish it had the 570 ...

To me the LX570 second row leg room should be improved without sacrifice of third row seating (which should be lower and longer). Overall the LX needs to be longer.

You can always supercharge the 460, I think trd makes one. P. S go back to trolling on MB World :P

after driving both, the lx570 is noticeably more powerful and luxurious, softer ride

LX is definitely nicer. The GX is very nice, but the LX is better.

Size is where this is at. LX is bigger, GX is smaller. I'd let that be the main consideration. What size SUV do you want to be tooling around in? As far as power, how much do you need for every day driving? They aren't made for drag racing... they are luxury SUV's. Seems powerful enough to me.

I just love the looks of the LX.

If only the GX was better looking (I don't like the headlights or front bumper styling of the GX)
