Default Lexus LX 600 Gen 2 Hybrid

The lexus LX 600 is a nice car but need s improvement in Gen 2 as follows:
Engine:
A self charging hybrid with a 3kwh battery capable of 10 miles on Ev range with speeds up to 30mph assisting the Twin Turbo 3.5V6 with a combined output of 510hp. The hybrid will have 2 motors and the engine power sent to the rear wheels only since this LX will be for urban use.
The mpg should be 35 city, 30 highway and 32 combined with an acceleration of sub 6 seconds 0 to 62.
The complex drive modes and infotainment system should be simplified with Auto/normal mode, sport and offroad as the modes available.
The grill should be that of a 2013 lexus RX since thats the best face in any lexus product.
The split tailgate should be returned and the logo instead of name plate restored.
Models should be an entry level F sport and a maxed out Luxury spec.
The standard audio should be a 7.1 Mark Levinson 18 speaker system of 1000wats or on the Max Lexusry spec a 7.2 Mark Levinson 28 speaker system of 1500watts.
The coolbox should be a bigger one and similar to one found in Range rover and should be made standard to all units.

Needs TTV8 to exist in a world where the X7/RR/SQ8/GLS exist. Heck the current offering is below that of the 6 cyl competition

The grills on Lexus products have been a hit and miss affair. The 2013 lexus RX is the only face that commands presence. Im talking about the face.

Based on the recent IS500 a V8 might make a come back in some markets though it might be a NA V8 and not a TTV8. Engineers at Lexus tend to favour reliability over performance.
I can bet a potent self charging hybrid with a TTV6 with a power figure North of 500hp is wat is in their minds. They'd like the Lexus RX success story on LX and GX and as we speak thr GX has it, having on LX will mean more sales especially in the regions of Europe, Africa, East Asia and Australia.

Every RX through the third gen has a very boring front fascia IMO. Melatonin on wheels.

I'm in the camp that actually generally likes the spindle grills.
