It's funny, people complain about the analog clock in place of the digital clock in the 4GS. Different strokes for different strokes....

True!

I think the digital clock looks better than the analog would in the GX.

Its a small detail that won't really bother me ( i could end up seeing an analog clock on the GX and then wishing it was still digital ) Not a deal breaker in anyway. I definitely think the analog clock adds a nice touch to the GS interior ( which is already beautiful and it just flows well with it)

I prefer the new updated GX over the previous GX...Its sad to think this might be the last truck based GX, how ever i can definitely see the need for a larger cross over from Lexus..Not my cup of tea, but exciting nonetheless, specially if its based on the GS and not the RX....

The Blind spot monitoring system + rear cross traffic alert are nice additions...Its a shame the LX doesn't have those features, yet.

Now it really looks like a mini LX. Can't wait till the CT and GS get the full spindle treatment

I'm surprised the '14 still has the cargo door opening to the side.I'd prefer the lift up but it's still very nice.

I know it's for aerodynamics, but I wish the front bumper didn't come down quite so far. Makes it look a little minivan-ey.

Otherwise, love the updates. Finally gives the GX some much-needed curb appeal and flair.

Base price dropped nearly 5 grand...... can't say I'm a huge fan of the looks in these pics....

Moments after a series of press videos of the revised, global-market 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado surfaced online, the Japanese carmaker's luxury arm Lexus released full details on the SUV's North American sibling, the 2014 GX.

The first thing you will notice on the facelifted GX is the brand-new front end that mimics the styling of the larger LX570, which itself was cosmetically updated last year. Together with the brand's signature pinched grille, the 2014 GX obtains a new set of LED headlamps and daytime running lights, plus a new front bumper with optionally available LED foglamps.

Around the back, there are newly styled taillight crystals and bumper, while the finishing touch comes from a fresh selection of alloy wheels.

Moving on inside, there's a new infotainment system with an eight-inch touch screen display, along with revised buttons on the center console, a new linear espresso wood/abyss black trim and the availability of Lexus' Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).

The all-wheel drive GX 460 will continue to be offered with a 301-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine paired to a six-speed automatic, with Lexus quoting an EPA-estimated 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway.

There's good news in terms of pricing, at least for the entry-level model, as the 2014 GX starts at $49,085, or $4,710 (about 9 percent) less than the previous year. However, the better equipped Luxury model, which includes Navigation, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and an Adaptable Air Suspension, is priced at $60,715, or $2,125 more than the outgoing version.

I'm not going to lie, this looks great!!!....I could imagine it lifted with some monster tires and it would definitely look intimidating!
