Spies give you a first look at the 2008 Lexus LX570 on the street-Most colors and a new one too!
Although we're not allowed to give you our driving impressions of the 2008 Lexus LX570 SUV until December 20, 2007 (Global embargo date), we CAN show you an amazing photo gallery of the new truck in most of the colors that will be in dealers in early January.

Unfortunately, if you love the blue color, you may or may not see it until a year from now.

Should Lexus even offer it in that color or should it never see the light of day?

Let them know in the comments below.

I didn't like the LX at first, but it is growing on me now; the blue color is not bad, I like it in silver better though.

The LX570 and Land Cruiser are one and the same.

houstoncutie2000,

I have, and put several thousands of miles on the both Range Rover and the current LX, (the LX is best towing vehicle I have driven). When I comes to interiors, the Range Rover has no peers.
When I speak of quality, I mean of interior materials and design. I agree with you that as far as reliability goes Rovers are a horror, Although I have never heard of a dash braking.
Off topic the BMW powered Range Rover seem to be a little better, just scary not a horror.

The new LX is nice... but no, the blue color doesn't work.

I'm glad the interior is finally significantly different from the LC's; I just wonder why it took them this long.

It is a mistake for them not to offer seats that fold into the floor.

Fold flat seats are practically a necessity nowadays.

As long as Lexus is making a true truck based SUV like the LX and GX, there won't be seats that fold into the floor. Usually, fold into the floor seats are only found on car based SUVs.

A live rear axel makes that impossible,this vehicle is sold globally,and the U.S. is the smallest market.This is a true off road vehicle,unlike the mercedes G-class garbage.

The Mercedes G-Class (and Land Rover Range Rover) is a much more capable off-roader than the new LC/LX, which is a step backwards in terms of axle technology.

They should make a different model for the US--LEXUS's biggest market--that does not have a live rear axle and does have seats that fold flat.

you are an idiot autopro to not even acknowledge the supreme off-road capabilities of the g-class - it's legendary. The RR is a legend also
Even though Lexus is a upstart "luxury" manufacturer based on toyota chassis, I give them RESPECT for what they have achieved in the short time the company has been around
On the other hand, your immaturity blinds you from seeing the light - I'll leave you there

S4-
I have to disagree. I think in terms of off-roading capability, the Land Cruiser/LX is just as capable, if not more so, than the Range Rover. Sure, the Range Rover is more technological about it, but the Land Cruiser has the title for the highest climb on some volcano in Japan (I think it's Mt. Fuji), that includes the Range Rover.

For the record, the GL-Class (not to be confused with the G-Class) is NOT more capable off road than a Land Cruiser. Stop smolking crack. The Range is the king, however.

Oh please. The GL has been tested numerous times and has performed with flying colors offroad.

People seem to have this mental block that:

Range Rover = Good Offroad

Landcruiser = Good Offroad

ANYTHING ELSE = NOT

When have I claimed that the Q7 is an off-roader?

I don't even off-road, ever, anyway. So I don't care one bit if I'm buying an SUV.

Me too. But this is a great alternative. Trade off it Looks vs. Reliability.

The blue is a disgrace..who would buy that? It looks bad even on a compact car.

As per usual with Lexus, I like the interior more than the exterior. It looks comfy and tech'd out...but the RR has sex appeal.

The only problem with the GX is from behind. It looks too tall and clumsy. Other than that, it's a nice SUV.

The interior is of course very good (dull in black though) - but that blue...that's even brighter and jazzier than my car...and on my car it's called jazz blue! not a good colour methinks.
Not particularly distinguished from the front, slabby and plain big from the rear - this is not an attractive car.
I'm not going to attack it for looking "American" because obviously it's designed with Americans in mind.

In my mind is still not as good as a Range Rover, but then again nothing really is.
Good competition for the GL though.

The new LX is nice, but why doesn't it have a hybrid option?

And that blue color? That is the most horrid color ever applied to a Lexus. I thought the metallic baby blue color available on the RX and IS was bad, but this is crazy!

"That is the most horrid color ever applied to a Lexus."

I think the AARP Bronze available on the LS460 is worse.

A hybrid LX would get all of 2MPG better. It would be a marketing gimmick, like all the other huge "green" SUVs (Escalade hybrid, anyone?). The only one that makes a bit of sense is the GL320 CDI.

I don't mind the appearance of the new LX. I think that it may look nicer inside than out, but whatever. Now, on the blue. I think that this is Lexus copying Cadillac, and it worked for Cadillac. So why shouldn't Lexus offer it? Most of you may not like it now, but just wait until it's in some rap video sitting on 24's draped in the color blue. Then everyone's going to want a blue LX. The truth about the future lies in the facts about the past.

why not? its durable, easy to maintain, longer distances and 10k mi oil changes, plus a ton of TQ under your foot. that would make it a beast off-road.

making it a hybrid makes no sense at all but just to increase the weight of this car.

We get a diesel LC in Europe (the old LC though).
It's an old fashioned, big ol' 4.2 6 cylinder job with about 200 hp. Quicker than the 4.7 petrol though.
