2003 GX on the way...
Hello, guys & gals.
I have a 2003 GX470 on order (Silver Pine on Ivory w/ chrome rims), scheduled to arrive around the end of June. I've heard rumors of a couple changes planned for the 2004 MY (new colors, rear-view camera like the new RX, etc.), but nothing for certain. Any confirmations on these or other items? I'm trying to determine if it would be worth waiting for the '04 instead.
Also, anything specific to be looking for when I take delivery?
Thanks for any input. Nice to "meet" you all.

Welcome
Welcome to CL and CONGRATS! on the new GX.
if you do a quick search you'll see the planned 04 changes.
Blizzard White is the new color, new 5 spoke wheel design (no 18" ers yet
) , also the rearview camera and the kinetic suspension is info I've gotten from a Lexus rep (not dealership personnel). HID's are not planned and no change to the side opening rear door.
Mine should be here in July...BMP, Levinson/Nav, RSES.

Thanks for the reply.
Like a message board newbie, I searched for information AFTER I posted my question. [oops!] Anyway, the changes listed on this board are similar to what I have heard other places. Since we're not getting the nav system, the rear-view camera wouldn't be an option anyway (but sensors would sure be nice!). The Blizzard White color sounds nice, but I am in a silver rut and have been for years... so I would have probably ended up with silver anyway.
We are having our rims chromed, so that should help to differentiate them a bit. I wish they were 18s though.
At any rate, we're excited. Our GX should be here at the end of June or the beginning of July.
Thanks again for the welcome and the information.

Does anyone know what the kinetic suspension is? 
Does it raise and lower like the air suspension every time you turn the car on and off?
