Lexus GX460 with 4.6 V8...precursor for 4runner?

The 2010 Lexus GX460 to release for 2010 with refresh sheet metal and updated interior along with the 4.6L V8 that's in the updated Tundra....I'm hoping this coincides with the new 2010 4runner.

Here's another update from Autoblog
------------------------------------------------
According to Ward's Auto, Lexus' GX SUV will finally be relieved of duty when a new model comes calling this autumn. The mid-size body-on-frame GX has been serving essentially unaltered since 2003, and dealerships have been struggling to sell them in recent years, with April deliveries down some 66.1% year-over-year.

According to Ward's sources, the GX will receive the 310-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 from the 2010 Tundra, giving it a useful boost over the larger 263-hp 4.7-liter in the current model. The model will also benefit from a new interior (including a next-gen navigation system) and reworked sheetmetal and fascias, including a different rear door assembly.

The news would appear to make sense, as a successor to Toyota's 4Runner has been confirmed by officials, and that model's chassis underpins the GX (not the Land Cruiser as claimed in the Ward's article).

GX Option

If the GX does retain the V8 and the rear door is being redesigned, I will seriously consider this as my next vehicle.
