2010 Lexus GX460 Unveiled

[Timbits93]

Fresh off our First Drive, Lexus has announced full pricing for its upcoming 2010 GX 460 SUV. As you might expect, it's no cheap ride, with the Base model commanding $52,875 including an $875 destination and handling charge. Step it up a notch to the Premium level and the price nestles up to $57,640.

For the money, Lexus's second generation luxo-off-roader sports a new 4.6L V-8 courtesy of the Toyota Tundra. In its newfound sheetmetal, the mill makes a healthy 301 hp at 329 lb-ft and is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. The package gets an EPA rated 15 mpg city, 20 mpg highway.

Buyers can also expect to have heated and vented front seats; ten airbags; front, rear and side cameras; Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System; and full-time four-wheel drive. There's also a pre-collision warning system, a lane departure warning and Intelligent High Beam lamps. Extra luxury comes courtesy of semi-aniline leather, a heated steering wheel, and heated outer second row seating.


Lexus plans on showing the GX at this year's L.A. Auto Show, so stay tuned for full coverage. Deliveries occur next month as well.

Jesus, it looks like a caricature of a stereotypical Asian.






I'd be offended if it hadn't been drawn by the Japanese. In that case it's just self-loathing.

What the fuck is that? Some kind of Toyo-

oh.

*sheepish grin*

Now that is one expensive truck. I've been looking at the list of features of the new GX, and all I can say is the truck's overpriced.

Based on the new Prado

[awdrifter]

Why can't we get the Prado front instead of this fugly ass one.

[Pedrocas]

Kill it with fire!

[Walsh_e]

Ugly on the outside, ugly on the inside, will probably sell thousands of the damn things!

[AiR]

15 mpg

[C3Vette]

That's written fail all over it.

[Donington]

Well, after a turbulent few weeks, Toyota totally redeem themselves!...

...Yeah right!

[VR6]

Whats up with the poor mpg ratings, arn't those numbers close to what gm and ford get with their fullsize trucks?

[Rokovak]

Awkward styling in a dying market segment. This has to be some kind of joke.

[Canuck]

Wow the Prado looks way better, and way cheaper.
And is just me thinking toyota trucks look better when they're rockin the spare tire on the tailgate?

All SUV types look better with an externally-carried spare.

Lexus drivers don't know what a spare is.

Women with that orange shade of skin not found in nature, your car has arrived.

4.6 liter V8 with only 300hp? Ford made more power 13 years ago....

Has no identity at all that car. Incredibly forgettable.
