Let's see: it's based on the legendary Land Cruiser which is known to be the longest lasting SUV and also most reliable. The LX is SUV royalty yes.

I think you are so very right

5:13 "you're gonna have gloss-black on your mirror cap." I'm gonna have to ZONK you on that, Joe. 😂😂😂

That color is absolutely amazing. Looks like a full factory paint job and not a wrap, too.

I agree about the panoramic sunroof being an option - but if you are equipping with that low profile roof platform system, it really wouldn’t be worth it on the build. Depends on how you want to use the vehicle. Great review as always!

Lovely car Joe. Good Video presentation.

We can’t do it without you

I'm wondering if they fixed their defective disk rotors that warp? Both my GX's and both my LX'S have warped their rotors causing me to have them spun at my expense.

Is there footage of the trunk and cargo space?

Quality has always been top with them and they nailed that great job. But in my opinion I think they need to add performance line on more of their vehicles especially being here in USA where we like the performance in our vehicles..

Not much on the green, but I love the wheel and tire package. Is that available through Lexus I wonder. The LX has compromises because of some of its other capabilities. With that said, fit finish and overall quality are outstanding. The twin turbo is excellent.

That color is mesmerizing 😵‍💫 … beautiful

I like everything they are doing except for the numbers don't match the displacement it should be the LX 700 cause it's got X2 turbo's 350 X 2 700

While the LX600 is a nice SUV, It lacks the luxury touch especially with the Dash and interior dash layout. It should be cleaner and flow simpler like those in this category. Panoramic roof and a bit longer leg room in the rear 3 row would be the final touch.

It will be interesting to see how it pans out

Lexus is the easy choice. The one thing it has that none of its competitors have is basic ol’ reliability. In fact, that’s usually the compromise you make buying an Audi, Infiniti, Caddy etc. you’re normally trading dependably from luxury. Creature comforts don’t mean anything if you can’t even take the thing on a road trip without risking it leaving you stranded somewhere, hopefully not in the middle of nowhere. That’s where Lexus is amazing. Not only is it posh, but Lexus is continually ranked in the top three (sometimes even number one) most reliable and longest lasting manufacturers. If you’re looking to blow this kind of coin on a vehicle of this type, buy the one you can drive from one end of the country to the other without worry.

Are you sick? You're showing enthusiasm like you usually do.

Who saw the yellow GX behind?

I usually agree with most of your zonks, but I respectfully disagree with the zonking of the sunroof. Not everyone wants or likes a panoramic sunroof. My daily driver is equipped with a regular sized glass sunroof that I seldom open, especially in the daytime since I reside in the desert southwest. The lack of a panoramic sunroof availability would never deter me from buying or leasing a vehicle, especially one such as spectacular as this one.

Interior is not $100k car. Reminds me of Highlander

The quality's there.

@RaitisRides

7 ай бұрын

You are so right about that

Not for me. Except for a few upgrades it’s just a TOYOTA. I agree with your zonks, here are some more: those door panels do not offer much ingenuity for usefulness. The seats do not look comfortable. I am not a fan of Toyo tires, not much traction in the snow. For the price it better ride like a dream. Those monster size grills are not appealing. Let’s compare features and ride with the Wagoneer or even the Grand Cherokee. Good review Joe.

Why do you all say they like it’s supposed to be insulting? A Toyota is one of the most well respected built cars on the planet. You sound uneducated and broke.

I highly doubt you will get in one under $100k. Probably more like $125k+. If you don't need 3rd row then ok. My main zonk is the ipad stuck on top of the dash instead of integrated like most others in that price range.

LX 600 are selling under MSRP nationwide currently, it just won't sell.

Joe, those V6's are starting to spin Cam or Crank bearings and seize up pretty frequently... Maybe they are isolated incidents, but they are starting to pile up. it will be interesting to see how those play out. As of today, May 22, 2023, they range from $93,000 to $135,000 for the "Ultra Luxury" model... I'm sorry but that is just plain nuts. For comparison, a 2025 BMW X5M Competition is $125,000

I’m always amazed at how many owners are going to the Overland look and spend big money on the accessories and the vehicle never sees a dirt road or trail. Pavement Princess.

Third row still cramped? Therefore, it can’t compete with a TRUE full size SUV with a full size third row like the Suburban. I think the Tundra platform is the issue. But what do I know. Just my 2 cents.

Looks like the F Sport? I do like the wrap, but I can't wrap my head around the price tag which will be in the neighborhood of 110,000 to 113,000! That's if the dealers don't jack the price up by 10,000 or more like my local dealer is doing on their vehicles.

Lexus LX will NEVER be able to compete against the likes of escalade, Navigators, etc because it does not take into American market into account. American LOVE their 3rd seat room with trunk space. LX need 1/3 more length to compete with Navigator and escalades.
