    A new day and a new Lexus teaser. This time it is the 2024 Lexus GX. It appears that the front end will not have the extreme “Predator” face. The last generation of GX really leaned into this look and has turned some people away from the truck. Potentially we will see the GX on…

All I can see when I look at the name is the Lexus Texas, pronounced as “Lejas Tejas.” My gut/sources tell me this is a Lexus version of the Toyota Grand Highlander. The rear structure is almost identical…
