Yeah...can't say this looks good. Those headlights and too-narrow look just kill this SUV.

This doesn't look that good. Seems like they just took the old GX and slap on the spindle grill. The new RX looks way more menacing and actually flows very well.

^^ agree completely, the lx / lc200 looks so much better balanced, unified, and classy.

I like the LX. BUT it makes you wonder how the higher end LX does not have LED headlamps for night use, blind spot monitor, LED fogs, and rear traffic alert.

Looks like continuous improvement is working and it isn't at the same time.

The new style of the GX is so much better than the previous model.

Not sure what to say I suppose it looks fine, I always thought the interior looks good though, looks like the newer Lexus family though!

The GX has always suffered from looking too tall and narrow. This angle makes it look even more so. Not a big fan of this generation GX.

It's a good refresh. Unfortunately approach angle looks to be decimated, but then again, no one buying a GX is taking it off-road, so I guess that's fine.

I've always loved the body on frame SUV's from Toyota/Lexus. My favorite is still the 80 series circa 1993-97.

Disappointing...Lexus SUV's need a re-design...now...

At this price point, the MB GL or Range Rover is a much better buy...just being honest.

LX is $30k-$40k more... so its like saying that S600 is nicer than E250 CDI.

Looks better than it used to. But I think it's time for a complete redesign, cuz right now the car has a totally new face merged with an old body and interior, which makes it kinda weird....

I feel the LX is too big and the rear design is awful.
The '14 GX is the perfect size and the rear looks great.
Also $25K less expensive.
