Which goes to show you just how superficial and uninformed the average car buyer really is.....

Big price drop helped too.

i don't see lx dying at all
Yes , the LX has been outselling the Land Cruiser in the US, and they only offer the LX in Canada, not the Land Cruiser . And the best selling Lexus in the middle east is the LX.

I've followed the GX for a while. From what I've read, there were not good deals up to a month or so ago. This is across the US. Not sure where you got the info from. 2-3K off msrp was the average where some states dont even want to negotiate.

I'm talking about lease deals. I know a few people who have leased them over the years and they lease out well.

Not sure about international, but Stateside the LX is NOT available with BSM. $90K SUV and a $500 BSM option isn't even available?! So Lexus's cheapest car the CT and most expensive ute LX are not available with it. Sickening and unacceptable.

LX Wish List:
1. BSM
2. Shed the pounds

facelift is all about bringing the new safety suite to LX... + new engines.

The GX sells the way it sells because its prices correctly in the segment that it is in. Those people want a $50k SUV with a V8 and those people want a Lexus SUV. There is no doubt that the Lexus GX would probably sell even better if they offered 6 cylinder model and even better if the GX moved to GL Mercedes set up.

What is considered a good lease on this model?

even toyota/lexus has finite resources and has to prioritize, so lx drew the short straw for upgrades.

the added stripper gx model gave dealers a way to get people into the show room with ads.

to me the lx is getting the ls treatment, 2 facelifts. but ls got it for 13MY and lx 16MY (given that lx came out in 08, a year after ls), this is quite poorly executed imho
