Interesting comparison. Depending on how you configure each they may not be wildly different in price, but they seem like 2 vehicles aimed at 2 different customers. I admit I sure liked the TX sitting in it at the car show (sadly the GX was locked). For somebody who doesn’t really watch videos, what was their take home message out of the comparison?

I am in the same boat. I like what the TX offers, lots of tech, tons of leg room, beautiful full glass moonroof, list goes on an on. I just wish it had a more aggressive look similar to the GX. When I read 4-door minivan, and soccer-mom SUV, it leans me more towards the GX for a more aggressive look. However there is a lot of negative around the GX to get those good looks (poor gas mileage, less space, hardly no storage compartments, small gas tank, less leg room, rougher ride. I am still trying to convince myself to get the TX, as the wait here in Quebec is only about 4-12 weeks, compared to 1-2 years for a GX (if you can find a dealer that will sell you one, most only want to lease it). So depending on how difficult it is to get, I might still wind up in a TX just because of the crazy hype, lack of inventory, and dealer fears of buyers wanting to export the GX.

The Lexus TX500H may be more easily available BUT,
It is no where near as good looking as the GX; in fact, it is quite ungainly;
It is not as capable off road as the GX;
It does not turn heads like the GX;
It does not make you turn around and look at it one last time before you go in;
It does not give you the sense of pride that the GX does;
plus....
It is assembled in Indiana, USA....which is why it is made in enough numbers that anyone can have one.

Even with poor gas mileage and less room, I will accept all of your arguements and will likely attempt to put a deposit for the GX at a dealer and see when they can get me one

I would agree with you here - two different cars aimed at two different customers. Both great vehicles depending on what you're looking to get out of them.

Honestly, if it were a higher trim TX500 and those prices, I would consider a BMW X7 xDrive40i.

If you qualify for a lot of additional stackable BMW manufacturer incentives such as military, loyalty, BMW CCA member, etc., you could get anywhere from $11-15k off MSRP. It's really not that far in price from a TX500.
