I think the best thing about this is that it will drive down the resale on the current GX, making it easier to get one sooner 
I know there are a lot of people who "forget" about the GX and others who don't like it but once you live with and drive one, I find it hard to argue that it isn't one of the finest SUVs on the planet. I had one for a month or so and found every excuse NOT to give it back. The GX has a trucky but luxurious charm inside and out and I am not sure how I feel about what we have seen so far.
The front end is a mess...headlights that bleed into the grille is a ridiculous idea, the shape is ugly and the placement is awkward. Three bars on the grille looks out of place and unfinished, especially for a Lexus.
I will wait to see official pictures of the interior but it looks like much of the dash and center console will be silver painted plastic, which I am almost never a fan of. Some of the shapes look a bit gimmicky as well.
I will wait to see what the final product is, but for now it seems like the GX has lost it's handsome charm in this redesign.

If my overall situation and vehicle needs happen to remain as they are today, I might end up giving the 2nd Gen a couple of years to drive down the prices of the 1st Gen ('03-'09) and then pick up another pristine late-model 1st Gen with the intention of keeping it a long, long time. I love the 1st Gen for what I do with it -- I've just never been in a truck/SUV that I like better, frankly, and that includes the other Lexus offerings as well as BMW's, Porsches, MB's, Infinities, and all the lesser makes such as Ford and Government Motors models I've driven. That's quite a statement, but the GX just suits my needs and preferences very well. 
All that said, if the new one FEELS even better somehow, I may learn to live with the looks after a while.

Why do you think the 2010 GX will hold down prices on previous GX models? I think the significantly higher price of the new GX could actually increase the value of previous models. If the buying public doesn't like the 2010 it will put even more upward pressure on previous GX's. Time will tell.
