Whoa, that looks like it was lowered, and the wheel/tire size is much too small for such a big car.

^ I guess those are 18" wheels, lets hope there will be a 20" option like the previous years.

I'm pretty sure that those are the 20" wheels...this is a huge SUV, so it would take something like 24s to fill those wheel wells. I personally love the stock rims and think they look awesome.

Yes! Finally! And, a saddle-ish interior, which makes me very happy!



The more pics of the 2013 LX that I see, all I can think is "The king is back! "

blingy, but still don't like the exterior.

i know lens distortion here doesn't help, but all the giant cladding/boddywork looks way too big for the underlying chassis.

I love it! Much more balanced now, particularly getting rid of those ugly chrome trims around the taillights

Yeah, so what's lexus's excuse this time?
Is it a safety issue that they're always claiming?

Like I've said before, love the new updates. Looks really good in person.

One thing I've always disliked about the LX is the god awful wheel offsets.

i believe for the lx570, when stopped, there is a setting where the air suspension will lower the car for easier access. that's probably why stopped, it looks lower and the wheels tucked in

^Also changes based on speed. You can set the air suspension to it's highest level, but it will drop slightly at something like 15 mph increments until it's as low to the ground as the system allows. This is, of course, for stability and gas mileage
