Exclamation 2008 Gx

Well seems there is going to be a base and "sport" GX, with a darker maybe different grill.

GX exterior gets refreshed as well.

Wood will be different, some extra chrome added here and there in the interior and exterior.

No engine changes.

Probably minor cosmetic changes like to the taillights and headlights, a bit of exterior upgrades, just like from a 2000 GS to the 2001 GS.
Basically, nothing that drastic to change a newly bought 07 for an 08

Any changes when it comes to our choices in wheels? I'm going to be bummed if they offer an 18" wheel when I just ponied up for a set of 4runner Limited wheels
