Looks pretty good to my eyes at the surface. I like the slab sided boxy shape and the toned down front end styling looks much better. Also like that they make a third row an option. Biggest improvement to me is that they got rid of that swinging rear door as that was the one deal breaker for me on the last one. Too bad they got rid of the V8 but no surprise there. Cabin looks pretty good. Overall looks much better than the new LX.
I agree with all this, it's a great looking rig. Sure it might be taking some styling cues from Land Rover, or whoever, but is that a bad thing? Shame about the V8, but at least it's not some turbo 4 with hybrid tech. I'd take this over the LX, and not just because the LX is much bigger than our needs.
Sounds like it's barely smaller than the LX and they have the same wheelbase.
Looks pretty good though I'd like to see it in some other colours.
I'm wondering what the price will end up being. The LX and the GX currently have around a $35K price spread between models, surely that will shrink some, but how much? I just asked my wife what her thoughts on the styling was, seeing as a lot of our wives are fans of the G Wagon and Land Rover Defender. As expected, she is a pretty big fan of it and definitely prefers it to the LX.
Does anyone else find it a little funny that a lot of woman really love the styling of manly off road looking vehicles?
