Default Looking to Import Lexus GX from US to Canada

Despite having sold my LS430 last fall, I guess I just can't shake my love for Lexus!

My wife wants to replace her Sienna minivan with something less "mommy" - and we're expecting our 4th kid now, so I need something with 7 seats. Looked at a few other options already, but it's hard not to go with Lexus after you've owned one!

Anyway, it's my understanding that the GX (like most Lexus vehicles) is a big pain to import due to having to replace the speedo cluster because it doesn't have a metric odometer. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

The speedo cluster shows both MPH/KPH. It is just in a smaller print. Look at the the picture.

All lexus' have the display for both KPH & MPH.

My dad's first lexus [mine now] is an American car, you get used to the mileage = kilometers pretty quickly i found.

And of course, its such a minor detail for the money saved on a USA car...

congrats on the kid!
