I bought my GX470!
I finally bought a CPO GX470 yesterday, it's 06 model, fully loaded except KDSS. Everything like new.
After two days driving, I have to say this is the best car I ever had, it's better than LX470, Cherokee, GS300, ES300, Toyota Highlander, ML350.
This is really the first time that I want to keep a car for a long time.
I REALLY SHOULD BOUGHT IT LONG TIME AGO.

Congratulations! It sure is a different driving experience, it's fast for its weight, has a quiet interior, silky smooth ride and just the right size. It is not too small so you know you have substance, hence safer in case of an accident, AND not too big to fit into a regular parking slot.
This is a real issue for owners like me with kids in the back, when you have to leave the door open while unstrapping them from their car seats. Most situations we park in between two vehicles and if the vehicle is too wide, then you can just imagine how much less room you have, and a bigger car means a bigger target for getting door dings. Of course, a minivan is ideal for this type of chores because of their sliding doors, but the choice between driving a minivan versus a GX470, we all know our preference.

Hmmm! I see fine with the stock headlights on my 07 GX at night. Lexus will not put HID headlights in their true SUV's. The RX doesn't count since its based on a Camry platform.

LX 470 Pros:
Prestige, roomier, night vision (who need that?), leveling on both front and rear.
LX470 Cons:
Feel under power due to heavier body, out-dated interior, SINGLE climate control (odd
)GX470 Pros:
Better visibility, all buttons are located more simple and clean, feel more powerful and quieter when accelerate.
GX 470 Cons:
None.
I think both of them are very GOOD, but I just think GX is better for me.
