I did a comparison of the new 2018 with a 2016 and there is absolutely no changes at all so it's the same

Most manufacturers do a complete redesign more frequently than is done with the LX, but I guess I'm not too surprised....nor am I disappointed since I recently picked up a '16 LX.

Love the relative exclusivity, but hopefully they start making a re-design.

Why should they spend monies, times and energy to redesign LX any time soon when there are not lot of buyers, so as Mercedes G Class which has been the same for years because there is not a lot of buyers. Unlike popular RX, it will have a modest face lift with 3rd row seat.

I was hoping for a new color, at least. Not sure I can wait for the 2019. That will be a redesign, right?

There is only speculation that they will have a new design in 2019-2020. No one would know.

2018 Land Cruiser is also out without any changes. Even dynamic cruise control is not full speed yet (I checked the Owner's manual on Toyota website).

There sort of is, actually. White is now Eminent instead of Starfire.

Read the interview with the lead project designer. Can't remember where I read about it, if I find the site will share the link.

i expect at end of 2018 a new design for LX as either 2019 or 20 MY. Lexus has to redesign this and the GX. BOTH are getting outdated quick.

See the new QX80 and Lincoln navigator?

This looks that we could get new LX even earlier:

But on the other side, the debut in Europe mans that we can get just a new small Land Cruiser Prado (successor of LC 150). It would make a sense as the current GX460 and 4Runner are also due for a replacement (they are the last Toyotas without Toyota Safety Sense or Lexus Safety System).

You can call them anything but late for dinner, but they are not Land Cruisers nor LXs by any means.

In order, Toyota "has to redesign" the Land Cruiser, then the LX. The GX is off-topic and as far as I know has zero to do with a 200 or new 300 series truck.

The GX was outdated in the North American market when 'Yota had the back door open on the wrong side.
