2010 Lexus GX 460 Review - LeftLane

A review of the 2010 Lexus GX 460 LUV has been posted over at LeftLaneNews.com. 'New for 2010, the GX 460 is the second generation of what Lexus calls a "Luxury Utility Vehicle" that sees as its competition the Land Rover LR4, Acura MDX, BMW X5 and Audi Q7. Within its own family, the GX slots between the brutish LX 570 and the futuristically shaped RX 350. The new GX carries forth with Lexus' L-Finesse design language, this time evoking the feel of a "machined steel bar" concept to impart a feeling of strength and toughness, according to designers. Sharing platforms with its corporate North American-specification Toyota 4Runner cousin, the GX 460 features softer edges and more generous proportions than its taut relative. Few owners are likely to realize that the GX 460 is nearly identical to the rest-of-the-world Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, a smaller companion to the Land Cruiser sold in North America.
