I think the grill/front fascia and basically everything but the stubby mini van rear looks astounding. They just messed up on the back

The QX base price is 55k. The LX is 75k.
The QX has RWD and AWD vehicles. The LX is 4x4 only.
The QX had 8k/10k rebates most of it's life cycle.

The LX is a limited production vehicle.

While both SUVs apples to oranges. It is possible this is now a LX conpetitor. It is a 4x4 now?

Leaked on purpose maybe, so there's less shock about ugliness upon launch.

Nope. Luxury vehicles that are not sport-oriented, IMO, are SUPPOSED to have wood.
