Ehhh, who cares what reviewers think, there seems to be a 50/50 love hate with them. Sure it's a Prado, but it's still a Landcruiser. I bought one and love it. I dig the hybrid turbo 4, it fits the personality of the truck, all torque and has never lacked for power. It's actually pretty impressive the amount of power we get out of a 4 cylinder now! The old saying no replacement for displacement doesn't hold true anymore.
I checked out the gx at a car show, and it's nice, but I didn't want a Lexus. I wouldn't say it's the real Landcruiser so much as an alternate trim level. I've never driven one, so can't comment on the drivetrain, but the interior wasn't much nicer than the LC.
In the end, people just like to complain and probably had no intention to buy one anyway.
