Just recieved the new LX brochure and it is pretty impressive. It shows lots more of the vehicle than the National Geographic/LC brochure does. I was looking pretty closely at the running boards and they seem to be more "integrated" than the ones on the LC. It is hard to tell exactly whether they are easily removed or not without getting up close and personal with it. It seems odd to me that they didn't at least go with a set-up like on the Navigator where they come out automatically when a door is opened then retract when the door closes. It would make for a much "cleaner" design I would think. An even cleaner design would be to have no running boards in the first place !!Anyway, the brochure is very encompassing about the vehicle. The interior looks to be truely first class and alas, I will refrain from repeating the obvious concerning the exterior.
