My parents refuse to buy the new Lexus RX because of the ugly grilles. They are loyal Lexus RX owners but really those new Lexus spindle grilles are damn ugly.

I love Lexus (obviously) and when I was buying an SUV I went with the LX470 as I wasn't much of a fan of the LX570 but they have grown on me a lot so I think, for me, it was a toss-up between the LX470 and the newest lx570.
Still love the LX470 though. Here's mine on 33" KO2's

Beautiful LX470. That is a 03,04 or 05? We had a 00 model, that is when it was stil a 4 speed and 16”. Awesome power train. We should of never sold it. I still have the same 4.7 in my 4Runner

I assume the 33" refers to the tire diameter. Friend of mine in high school had a father who had a lifted Chevy truck with crazy "40's" on it. Which obviously, were the tires. That thing was TALL.

KO2's are BFG all terrain tires and like arentz07 said, the 33" is in reference to tire size. Rims are stock 18's.

It's an 04 with 145k on it. Beautiful vehicle and a great ride even with the A/T's on it. Love this thing.

Forget about utility and usefulness. What's the best-looking SUV out there?

I would say the Audi Q5. It always catches my eye when it drives by.

They are all so close these days. I think styling, overall, is getting very nice with many manufacturers, not just SUV’s but cars too. I love the way the MB GLE SUV looks but I would never buy a Mercedes Benz. I buy Lexus’ (non-turbo’s) for reliability more than anything. But I have gotten a lot of compliments on my RX’s styling.

(This was paraphrased from actual conversation I overheard at Costco, though it was about a Highlander and not an RX - though I have heard of the infamous "Lexus 350" before.)
That's pretty funny. I wotk at a Lexus dealership and I get so many calls from customers asking for help with their "350". It drives me nuts because they genuinely don't know the year or which model it is until I name off each car.

I have found that many of our customers are pretty dumb. They get mad when I don't know which 350 they have as if I could read their minds. I also get calls about their cars being "the big one", which I list off the LX, LS, and GX only to find out it's an RX.
