Get rid of all the pretender stuff and that would look good. And it would be a Lexus, hide the badge and you would have the best of all worlds, comfortable, reliable and now for the first time good looking!

Some nice videos and pics of the GX550 with the pretender stuff removed. Also if you like horses it has 349 of them.

It looks good but I think I’d just buy the Land Cruiser. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Lexus - Toyota. Is it not the same as Audi - VW.

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

I believe that the name was derived from "Luxury Export - United States" which, if true, supports this suggestion.

I get so excited when I read sales brochures for a vehicle designed to go offroad that states:

Quote:
and Adaptive Variable Suspension systems for optimal handling capabilities, along with an Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System for improved wheel articulation.

Thats the wow factor

But I still like my old Land Rover, with its KISS Suspension System. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
