Not a big fan of the new design. I do know that overseas, people have transformed these machines into absolute beasts. Check this,,,

Infiniti is another brand that IMO is completely on it.

It has some awkward design elements, but I find this more pleasing to the eye than the new LX which has gone SOFT.

She's quite boxy compared to the swept-looking Infiniti line-up.

That hood bulge hooks huge!!!

looks tons better than the current one.

i like the blacked out A pillar, and the chrome trim going around the top of the windshield.

Wow it looks good..better than the LX570. But the side vents needs to go unless they're actually functional.

Kinda has the same profile as Scion Xb w/ FX35 headlights. I agree that it looks better than the old 1.

What? Are you people on drugs? The LX has gone soft? This looks better than it?

WTF?!?!?

This looks like a god damned whale if I ever saw one..... yuk. The only salvation is that the patrol is an awesome truck, and this thing would be almost as much of a beast off road as is the LC/LX

Well, if they're going to keep this monster around for some more years this is the way to do it, then. For a mega cruiser it looks as good as these things can. But did they had to put those side vent things on it?

Wow I'm surprised people like this ... that looks HIDEOUS.

I much prefer the current old model over this new one, and the current one is not much of a looker either.

The LX570 easily looks better than this thing, hands down.

Also the use of boxy, rectangular styling cues and character lines combined with wavy curves on the exterior ... that is total fail IMHO.
