Thumbs down

I'd say it looks like the bastard child of something from the Transformers series mating with God knows what from the ghetto.

Unfortunate that 18" wheels are no longer offered...not nearly as many off-road tire choices with 20's.

It's yet another big step away from a real all-terrain vehicle to an expensive mall cruiser...

I totally agree, Lexus has totally ruined what the LX was all about. But I think people will buy this thing even though it has a hideous front end.

I have mixed feelings on it. Interior is badass! Side profile is a little weird with the front. Looks very masculine to me. New bold looks always take some time to get used to. Hoping the new model drives down the prices of the 2013's so I can pick one up

Don't like the exterior styling. I think the current one wears the spindle better.

Interior looks excellent and at or near the top of the full size luxury segment - very nice interior design.

Mixed feelings about the exterior but will be shoving a check in my sales persons hands to get the first one that arrives in Jacksonville! The interior is nice, indeed!

Well, now the new RX grill looks quite conservative in comparison.

The videos here are awesome: quite creative in the case of the first and very helpful at illustrating features in the case of the second.

what particular aspect on the new LX is ruined? the fact that it has skinny tires, easily fixable

I applaud lexus for doing this. No one ever expected a total refresh or redesign for 2016, and they have catered to mall go getters and off roaders alike who want luxury body on frame. Only other option out there is the cadillac with bof.
