Turbocharging is the way to go…. Toyota/Lexus should do more turbo models.

Probably in the next few years or so, they aren't immediately jumping on the Bandwagon of Turbocharged Cars/SUVs/Pickup Trucks like some of many other Manufacturers did in the last few years
You can never go wrong with a top of the line Lexus!
Fully agree and support turbo charging to enhance benefits of cheaper road tax all the way.....

You're right. I'm M'sian American Lexus Toyota rule the roost here in the US top notch quality and reliability by Consumer Reports and JD Power & Associates. Now of course Tesla is threatening. But you can't match Lexus and Toyota. Owners of these brands are looked upon as being highly intelligent, responsible and trustworthy.
Miles ahead of GLE and X5. Some more Lexus you can buy and drive for 10 years no issue. With conti after 5 year, everything break down lel. Make sure you have car towing friend if drive conti over 5 years.

Uncle most people who drove luxury version without fsport says the car tend to be floppy and rolling around a lot more due to softer suspension compare to sportier fsport. With no fsport for the new rx 2023, do you think the car can take cornering & driving better with fsport suspension or maybe lexus has done tweaks enough to make this luxury version without fsport mountain driving comfortable for speed drivers?

From what I see, 85 percentum of people who buy these vehicles hardly ever go much above tue speed limit, and are going for the luxurious ride and quietness of the vehicle. All can afford it, so they want the top spec. Maybe one or two will drive it aggressively, so who cares?
