I wonder if you will be able to buy those 20 inch factory Lexus Tires and Wheels and be able to put them on the GX. I have a 2006 GX and would love to upgrade from my 17 inch ones. Any thoughts from anybody?

the LS460s price did not change much from a LS430 with about the same features. The LX470 was never meant to be sold in high quanity, just high quality. The LX570 might have a different marketing now due to Toyota/Lexus' push to be the #1-rated automaker and not the #1 best automaker.

Thanks for the info. Any larger factory Lexus wheels/tires available for the GX than the 17 inch ones that come with it?

Would you happen to know if the 4Runner 18's can be obtained with the Lexus center caps and use the GX's TPMS? If so, approx. costs?

not crazy about the rearview, esp the tail lights. this is a mature/traditional looking car, and they're putting on a bit of RX350's youngie's tail lights look it there. whenever traditional cars co's do this, ie. the 02 bmw 745iL, people always ask, why?

i would say that top version will be 10k more, at least... probably more like 15k +, or even 20k more than top LX470 it replaces....

It has all of the LS's features, and then plus some more... there is no way it will be cheap.

I think it will be prerrty close the the current LX too, because it will need to be other wise they will loose buyers to other cars my guess is 7k more or less.

I doubt it will be a lot more than the current model too. It needs to be less than a Range Rover.

here's some more huge ones for the desktop

what I don't get is why the side design is so..... flat, unlike the slingshot concept on the GS, IS, and LS. the flatness makes it so... traditional and old fashioned.
