the front dash, yup, i agree. it looks a bit "hard", like some of the new toyota suv. it doesn't look like the lx570 which is a lot more elegant

although from what i know the new gx interior features seem to be a lot better than previous one

It looks okay from some angles. I am not a fan of the lights or wtv on the back bumper though :/

It truly does look like a Toyota Highlander lol

its not... when you see it in person, it looks as old LC 90/GX were designed 15 years ago.

Just came from the drive of LC150... Expect better drive than LC200/LX in every aspect - its very different from old LC90/GX, much firmer but still supple over the bumps. Also nicer to drive than LC200.

So drive LX and imagine lighter and smaller car on same chasis... and better car too :-).

The first posted picture isn't the most flattering---especially in that almond color that few Lexus owners choose. However, in silver the vehicle looks better:



The front end is a bit unusual, reminds me of the 4-Runner for some reason. The LX front end looks better. The side I wish had more chrome; but the GX 460 carries the GX 470 profile.

Dual screen RSES FTW.

it also reminds me of the 4runner, which is not a good sign. interior i am sure luxury would be good, looking at the new rx i can only imagine about the gx. but at the same time the dash doesn't look as classy

I would be afraid to show it to mine as she might pass out. The HS250 h & now this? I am not liking the styling direction of Lexus. Design some vehicles that will bring real buyers back.

gx is not build to bring new buyers in, but to keep old ones...

well lc150 has a lot of really nice interior materials inside, better than lc90.. so expect the same... plus a lot, lot, lot more tech inside.... more than LX too.

IMHO, looks alright........but definitely not jawdropping.

Some parts do seem cool though like the two TV screens for the rear passengers..........yet then again, that feature is gonna be in the next-gen LS anyways so.

Anyways, I'm still thinking on my stance to this vehicle. So far, it isn't that desirable to me atm but we'll see.......
