| The '''[[Lexus|Lexus]] LX''' is a [[Sport Utility Vehicle|sport utility vehicle]] sold by the [[Lexus]] division of [[Toyota]]. Also, it was [[Lexus|Lexus]]'s first SUV. It has a 4.7-liter, four-cam [[V8]] engine with four valves per cylinder. The LX has a welded steel body and a capacity to seat eight passengers. The LX replaced the [[Toyota Land Cruiser]] for the Canadian market, because most automobile companies (except for [[GMC|GM]], [[Ford]] and [[Chrysler]]) couldn't sell rebadged models in Canada. The real reason is that big expensive SUV's don't fare well with Canada. And having a Landcruiser and LX470 in the same market makes matters worse.
