This is so fire! I love it!

However, I pray the trailer hitch is optional. I watched a random live feed of the debut and I can't unsee that gigantic trailer hitch cover. It's so big and sticks out far!

Sigh... welp, guess this means I can turn my attention to the LC500. That overtrail model will appeal to GXOR-crew for the aesthetic, but it's not priced for what they would pay to beat it around. Interior is wildly... WILDLY humdrum. For their own sake, i hope some better photos come out when some luxury trim models start being available

The non overtrail model is a little more aesthetic, I do like it... but still just kinda looks like a shortened LX600 from the side. Toyota reliability is cool and all but I cannot for the life of me understand why they can't even get in the same stratosphere as mercedes/land-rover for interior or exterior styling. They make great 2doors, but they can't style an suv to save their lives. Thank god for the reliability.

Oh and did I hear a meager 50hp gain and ONE mpg gain?

could you edit in a link to your source for the article?



it has all the poser bits one would want.

Rugged Yet Refined Exterior:
refined? LOL

The all-new GX presents an unmistakably aggressive exterior design that exudes the tough, rugged persona that it has earned time and time again.
all the key buzz words.

although from the article carmaker posted...

The front overhang has been decreased by 0.78 inches for improved clearance.

Sht, the new GX in that metallic gray looks so freaking good. Looks like I found the replacement for my old LX570.........

Wasn’t expecting GX to look this boxy and cool ! Really well done. Hope this is priced similarly to the current GX

I like it too, much more masculine looking than the previous model.

17 combined MPG <-- just wish it can have 20+ combined MPG like the Sequoia. Like 20 MPG city, 25 MPG highway.

^^^ thanks for that data

another video here:


i LIKE the gx interior and front/rear, but really don't like the side profile.
this video says it's 5" longer and 4" wider, but wheelbase is only 2" bigger so obviously the front/rear overhangs are bigger and i think that's the reason i dislike the side profile so much besides the endless unnecessary kinks, lines, bulges, bumps, etc.

I’ll wait for the full reviews when they are actually honest. In the picture I posted I can see that the rear of the armrest where the backseat climate control buttons are is all hard plastic with visible seams, something Lexus is usually better about.

GX only the hood




LC300
