LX570 Pics - Page 5

I think it looks great...in and out. I have my Rovers for off road so the integrated bumpers make no difference to me. I've already written an email to my sales lady at the dealer asking when there will be one to see in person here and when we can place an order.

I bet the LC version will lend itself better to modifications WRT the bumpers, sliders et al...

Great interior, miserable exterior. The LX470 is still a better styled SUV.

The LC pics on this forum (the silver LC) shows the same type of front bumper with the weird angled cut that covers part of the front quarter panel.

I wonder if you will be able to buy those 20 inch factory Lexus Tires and Wheels and be able to put them on the GX. I have a 2006 GX and would love to upgrade from my 17 inch ones. Any thoughts from anybody?

Thanks for the info. Any larger factory Lexus wheels/tires available for the GX than the 17 inch ones that come with it?

it does look the same in person...meh

Lexusman44 · 04-07-07, 12:57 PM

Can one of you at the show find out about the rear seats 2nd and 3rd row and tell me if they move back and forth and or recline....Thanks Guys

1loudLX · 04-07-07, 05:44 PM

3rd row is not removable...as far as reclining, i wasnt really listening to the guy. But I assume they recline a little, because the current 3rd row does.

Lexusman44 · 04-07-07, 09:43 PM

^They do? How do you do that? my friend has one...he doesnt even know..hah

No offense to anyone here but the kind of comments knocking the LX570 without even seeing it in person is kind of typical of people who will not be buying such a beautiful beast anytime soon. The people who will buy the new LX570 will love it and consider a really nice upgrade over the LX470 which I also love since I own an '03. My wife had an 03 Freelander

and it was absolute garbage, my brother in law traded in his 98 LX470 for a 2004 Rangie

and it was also garbage, after warranty, he spent thousands on repairs. Range Rovers

, LOL ! oh please. They are laughable and the most unreliable SUV's on the planet. Just the facts.

Wait until you see this new beast on showrooms or on the road, especially in black, it will look stunning. What did you expect Lexus to do anyways with a body on frame 8 passenger SUV ? Make it look like an X5 or Cayenne ? Lexus knows its customers are loyal and dont want massive changes that are out of character from the original LX470. I own an '03 LX470 and I really love it but Im pretty excited about the LX570 based on initial impressions.

Well just as a heads up, i have had my LX470 since Febuary 2000, and i DID see the new LX570 in person. The comments knocking the LX570 are spot on, it just doesnt look "right" in person. Sure we will all get used to it and accept it on the road but it just doesnt look like a proper top of the line SUV. They should have badged this as the GX in my opinion, and reworked the LX front end for a new "L-Finesse-ed" look. Instead of slapping the ES/LS front on a truck, just doesnt work.

Sure the features and kewl things like the 5.7L and the 6spd along with the HDD navi is nice. Interior was done well, along with the mechanical driveline aspects, just exterior styling makes me want to...well, it makes me damn near sick.

Today I took a trip to the autoshow I must say I think it looks much better in person. I actually like it, it makes the LX 470 seem well old, not to say the LX 470 looks bad since it is my favorite SUV.

The interior looks great and the exterior looks fine , i think if it was in different color it would look much better.

any new model vehicle will make the previous generation look old, if you know its the new style.

GS400s in good condition look brand new.
