Which makes you wonder why it does not have some of the features that the GX has. Well, even the Camry has BSM and rear cross traffic alert.

Not bad over all, but that front end is hideous. On some Lexus cars I actually don't mind the Spindle Grill at all. On others though it just looks like crap. People think the Acura Beak is ugly which I agree, but the Spindle Grill on this Truck is messed up.

Looks OK in some of those pics and weird in others. I guess I'll have to wait to see it in person before jumping to any conclusions. I do think, however, that maybe they should have waited on the spindle grill until a redesign came along rather than for a "refresh" as previously mentioned. It seem the Joan Rivers analogy is fair...

Isn't that what the LX and RX did? The '13 LS is also just a new front and rear with an old body although at least they changed the interior significantly.

The horizontal bar in the middle of the Spindle grill is getting smaller and smaller on Lexus cars. It really needs that horizontal painted space.

The spindle looks great on the RX for instance...

Well, as I look at the GX more and more with the new front end, it would be hard pressed for an average person to tell that the GX is truck based. To me it looks like Lexus has tried to make this look a bit like a crossover. I am more than sure the next GX will be a crossover

looks weird IMO because the wheels are so small.....I'd like to see it with standard w/ very minimum 19s but really REQUIRES 20s because its so tall.

True but bigger tires may lower the present not so good MPG numbers.

I also think 19"s or 20"s would have made a huge difference.
