The GX and the LX have the same motor. I look at the GX as 85% of the LX for 50% of the cost. I made those numbers up but I shopped for almost a year before buying a GX.
The GX has the rear barn door which some people hate. A LX has a handy tailgate. The suspension and drive system are heavier duty in the LX. Having driven both the GX is more fun to drive, because it weighs significantly less than the LX. Interior space is fairly similar with a LX being a bit wider, but the GX having more headspace. The GX is going to be easier to find just look at the import numbers.
My vote is also for the GX unless you find a screaming deal on an LX. I may be buying a second one soon.
