JX: JX is the name given to Lexus' new body-on-frame SUV, arriving for the 2008 model year. One engine likely will be offered, a 5.4-liter V-8. The JX will share a rwd platform with the upcoming redesigned Tundra pickup. The JX will replace Lexus' LX SUV.

Long life cycles are one of the many reasons Lexus retain their value so well. The bubble-eye GS was around for ever it seemed like, not to mention the last gen SC and even the RX.

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.

Interesting... Lexus is really going crazy with SUVs. I assumed the RX would either grow a bit, or shrink a bit, with another crossover occuping the other respective position. If the news is of the JX is true, and they also introduce a baby SUV, it's really squeezing the RX. Sure, the JX can be marketed as sporty (RWD driven), while the RX can be seen as a plusher car (FWD driven), but it's overkill, IMHO.
