    Ssangyong has really turned it around. Well done.

    At first I thought I'd rather just have the 4Runner than the Lexus. But then I thought I'd rather have a Pathfinder than a 4Runner. But then I like the Xterra better than the Pathfinder. But isn't the Xterra a Japanese Wrangler wannabe? Conclusion: just get a Wrangler.

    @jark: Sure, Wranglers are good, and I want one myself. But really, you'll look like a broheim, and you don't want people asking you when you last saw Dave Matthews. So you should get a Land Rover Series II.

    @Maymar: Kudos for use of "broheim." And I'll take a CJ or FJ, thanks.

    If Lexus updates the GX and nobody cares, does there exist a comparable analogy to finish this zen koan?

    @pauljones: I'd still go with the original:

    "Does it make a noise?"

    Inasmuch as 'making a noise' is traditional marketing speak for getting noticed in the marketplace.

    Well done Paul. COTD?

    Why don't we get the 70 Series Cruiser like the Aussies? They are bulletproof, priced right, and crawl like mountain goats with climbing shoes on. Sure it looks like a mid 90's Mitsi Montero... but who cares! It has a snorkel!

    Isn't the GX really based on the Landcruiser Prado that we don't get here?

    @bmoreDLJ: Figured. The Lexus does look almost the same as the Prado, especially the upscale Prados. Not a lot of styling similarities with the 4Runner.

    Shy-high price. Ugly. Heavy. TERRIBLE gas mileage. Awesome off of the highway.

    A Hummer for people who read Consumer Reports?

    That's all I got...
