Canadian GX460 in NJ
Hi All,
So the long short of this is.....I bought my wife a 2011 GX460 from Lexus. On my way home i realized the car was in KM not MPH. The outer ring is in KM and the inner ring is in MPH. The dealer thought they were going to be able to change but turns out they can't. I'm at a crossroads, what do i do. They offered to try and find a new car or i keep the car and we work out a deal of some sort. If i keep the car will i run into other issues with it being from Canada. So does anyone know what makes a 2011 GX460 from Canada different then one from the US ?
any info would be very helpful
Thanks
Mitch

Thought it was "illegal" (in Lexus terms) to sell a car outside of the intended market.
Our dealer lost like 3 or 4 allocations because they let the Sheik of Dubai (while here on horse business) buy 4 LX570s and load them up on their private 747 and fly them back to the Middle East...

Because of what this guy suggested, i think it was bugging him. I'm in a classic bronco and bmw form and always seems like someone gets upset about placement of threads. i'm going to delete and keep original .
i spoke to Lexus Canada, they were great. Told me whats different. Emissions and Cluster other then that they are the same car. She told me that it might have a larger battery and more output on the alternator but wasn't able to see on her screen. Now i just need to get some classy looking 20in black wheels and make it different then the other 40 black 460's floating around in my town
thanks again for the help
From what I have read on the GX 460 forum, options are are different with the Canadian model. Maybe it is time to move this to the GX 460 forum please.
We have several Canadian members that probably don't monitor this forum and may have more insight on this model. Thanks mods

You were not bugging me at all. I was just trying to get you to the best place for your answer.
