Looks like rear privacy glass will be added for 2009. Wonder if this will trickle down to the LC?

It's a shame they didn't do something about the hiddeous wheels, front and rear ends and permanent running boards. Let's face it...The new LX, while LC based is not intended to be the serious off-roader the LC is. While the interior of the thing is beautiful the exterior is obnoxiously blingy. Personally, I wish the 570 would not be mentioned on this forum. It belongs on forums including the Escalade, Navigator and the QX56..IMO !!

Bummer, no HDD. Unbelievable that a $12,000 jeep can have a HDD in the MYGIG thingy, but a $70,000+ LC doesn't have something comparable...Oh, but the LC is reliable...
