Lexus Land Cruisers?

Does someone have a cheap and easy "translation" guide as to which Lexus (Lexi?) models correspond to which LCs?

I was out for a walk last night and parked at a health club I saw what, from a distance, looked like an FJ-80 Land cruiser. When I got up close, though, I saw it had a Lexus emblem and it was a Lexus LX-450, I think. I know there is one that is virtually identical to the Prado - I think that is the GX470? Anyway, just curious because if I was shopping for a late model LC (and I'm not - yet!) it would help to know what the Lexus equivilents were since it would expand the pool of available vehicles.

Am I right in thinking the Lexus LCs are the same as the Toyota models with just a few added bells and whistles (leather seats, sat nav, etc?) Obviously I'm not talking about the car-based SUVs, but the LC-derived SUVs.

In short, the LX450 ('96-'97) corresponds with the '93-'97 LC's aka the 80 series. The '91-'92 LC's also have the same bodystyle but the drivetrain is different.

The LX470 ('98-'07) corresponds with the '98-'07 LC's aka the 100 series.
