2008 Lexus JX350/460 (Lexus HPX Concept)
It has finally come to pass!
The well-received Lexus HPX Concept from the 2004 Auto Show circuit will infact become the 2008 Lexus JX350/460.
The LX470 is to continue to be based off of the Land Cruiser, and that will reach our shores about a year later.
RX350 needed a big brother, and this vehicle will fight Infiniti FX, Caddy SRX, and BMW X5 for larger crossover sales.
The X5 and FX are considerably smaller.
The SRX is similar in size.
Having seeen this vehicle in person at the 2004 NYIAS, I was quite impressed with it's size and dramatic styling. Apparently, I wasn't the only one.
Expect the LED head and taillights, and oversized wheels to be toned down (slightly).

"JX 470: The big brother to the RX 330 crossover comes off the new GS sedan platform in mid-2007. For styling hints and dimensions, look to the Lexus LF-X (nee HPX) concept car, which had a 116-inch wheelbase, 194-inch overall length and room for three rows of seats. Power would come from a 4.3-liter V-8, although a 3.5-liter V-6 also might be offered. Competitors include the Infiniti FX35 and FX45."

"LX 470: A proposed large, Sequoia-based SUV has been killed from the product plan. That means the LX 470 lives on in its current form when the Toyota Land Cruiser gets redesigned. "
The JX will fight the battles around $50k, and will already have a "LWB"!
The RX illustrations look promising, doh.
