Default Lexus Trademarks LX 700h -- Finally Getting the iForce Max???

Interesting LX news floating around this week... It's been reported that Lexus has filed a trademark for the LX 700h, implying that it might join the Sequoia in offering the hybrid iForceMAX powertrain -- https://www.clublexus.com/articles/l...of-luxury-suv/

Having driven the LX 600 Ultra Luxury (hoping to get an F Sport in about a month) and the Tundra TRD Pro, I have been very surprised that Lexus didn't offer its more powerful engine on its flagship SUV, so hopefully, this'll make things more interesting.

are these iforce max engines made in japan?
i figured they need to be if they will go in the LX. tundras and sequoias are made stateside but can get either japanese or american powerplants. i don't see american powerplants powering japanese assembled vehicles...but i could be wrong.

usually made in Japan. Early Tundras used Japan made 4.7 motors. I guess you never know.

It is not going to be exactly current iForceMax, there will be differences.

It's so sad they chose to go with the German and they are actually worse.

fun fact: the civic type-r is made in Japan and has an American made engine.

I think the last gen Mazda cx-9 was the same way.

according to lexus' website, the lx600 STARTS at 90,660. the first package up from base adds $8k, and it goes all the way to over $130k

so what will this lx700h go for!? probably start at 110k ?

Just get the sequoia. Same poor interior packaging and probably similar interior quality.
