2014 GX 460: Close Enough?

2014 Lexus GX 460 023The 2014 Lexus GX 460 has once again been detailed in a Toyota press release. While it's definitely not a Land Cruiser Prado, since it's as close as we can get in the US, is it close enough?

Other than styling and features, the GX is essentially the same as the 150 Series Prado (down to the right-hinged rear door), and many modifications and accessories designed for the Prado are compatible with the 460. What's more, the previous GX 470 model is quickly becoming a favorite for family-exploration when a V8 is a requirement. The TCT Magazine family hauler is an '07 GX and we have plenty of fun modifications planned.

So the question is despite the Lexus premium price, would a GX 460 be a good alternative for those looking for a family and off-road friendly rig with a V8? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
