Default [pics] LX570

something different from press photos that you have been seeing all along.

I still don't like how it looks. Not growing on me much. Hopefully, different colors will change my mind.

I really don't think that L-Finesse comes across well in pictures. I remember when everyone thought the 2006 GS was HIDEOUS and then people were unsure about the IS as well. Truth is, in person these cars are both very attractive and it takes seeing them face to face to appreciate the curves, details, and shapes.

Perhaps the LX will be the same way, who knows? Also, I can't imagine that a periwinkle color will do much for any car.

Thanks for the link, STIG!

Nice pictures but I think Lexus is loosing its "sexiness". I was tired of waiting for the LX so I went ahead & bought a Mercedes GL. I think the Lexus interior is still much nicer, especially the mega screen navigation. However, I dont like the Lexus as the overall package. Like someone else said, perhaps a different color & lighting will change my mind. I dont like the back of the LX though.

Still not really feeling the new LX. IMO it lost ALL of its aggressiveness. Its to smooth around the edges and it has lower profile tires as well. Just doesnt look like it can tackle a light offroad trail. In these pics, the front end looks a little like the LS460.

Thanks for the latest pictures of the LX 570. It's really starting to grow on me...

Pro: From the front and side it looks sort of like my GX, but with a softer edge.

Con: From the rear it looks even uglier then my GX

i think it will look nice in white i liked the landcruiser in white. and yes, the lx is now more smooth and does look more aggressive, but why cant it. the range rover does and it can still tackle a lil off road. its not like the majority of people who will buy this truck will go off roadig. persoanlly i like it and no matter wat other ppl say i will continue to like it. and maybe if we can afford it, we will buy it over the cayenne. another truck most ppl hate

+1 I felt the same way. Its not one of those cars that look better in person. It looks exactly the same in person as it does in pics. ugly.

I think it looks OK, but not as good as the current version.
