AfterMarket Mayhem: 2008 SEMA Show Photos & Coverage Part 1

Lexus LX 570 by ICON 4x4 Design

ICON specializes in 4x4s that are typically off-road oriented. But they envisioned something different for the plush yet rugged LX 570. Their approach here is to give the LX a clean and stealthy appearance through clever use of colors and trim, then top with performance improvements to further enhance the appeal of Lexus' premier luxury utility vehicle.

Lexus Lx570 Icon Concept

The largely cosmetic modifications to the LX 570 consist of matte two-tone gray paint, black chrome trim and emblems, and the removal of side trim and the roof rack on the outside, the replacement of all wood panels with carbon fiber surface effect coatings and the addition of window tint inside, a custom intake and stainless exhaust, custom 24-in. MOZ Calgary wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico tires, and six-piston front/four-piston rear performance brake system.

Maybe now Ford can produce a 4X4 that can revive the popularity of the original Bronco.  Remember "Peppy" in "Romancing the Stone"?  Ever since that movie Ford has seemed hellbent on pulling the Bronco's teeth and making a suburban station wagon.

Each line of cars needs a "marque" vehicle.  They're not meant for the masses but for the people that appreciate the vehicle's qualities.  The masses will follow for the milk-toast versions.

This technology should go into the whole line.  At first as a Prius Beater, Hybrid F-150/Bronco and perhaps a hi-performance all electric GT-40 then as the only kind of drive train that Ford sells.

This is a chance for Ford to stop following everyone else and step out in front!  It's been a looonnnng wait since the GT-40 and Shelby AC Cobra.

Question is how long will Ford wait to introduce this truck and other vehicles with the same technology in their show rooms?  Or, will they sit on it until everyone else has introduced it and their sales are plunging, again?
