No, but I have driven the LS500h which is the same powertrain. Not compelling at all and nowhere near as compelling as your V8, or even the ICE TTV6 in the LS500. The CVT “pretend” 10 speed alone is a killer, then the loss of the V8 sound and feel, then the fact that the hybrid transitions aren’t very smooth or refined. Theres a reason they are rare.

The stock LX600 numbers are plenty. They’re more than my V8 and I wouldn’t trade that engine for the world.

We’ll see but I bet these don’t sell very well. I feel like LX is doing terrible anyway considering there are 200LXs at every corner here yet I see a new one MAYBE once a month. They have them at the dealer…. Maybe people around here don’t like it either. And I know, one city doesn’t serve as a gauge for the entire country… but yeah. Nobody is buying these around here.
The current gen of the LX is outperforming the sales of the 200 series in the US. You're observing more because the LX570 has been around forever so every one that will ever be sold is already on the street. We're only a couple years into the LX600.

Average annual US sales of the LX570 during its production run were 4679. Average of the LX600 so far is 5673.

That things transmission is insanity to me, a CVT stacked on a 4 speed? Why?

That’s how bad my experience was with ford. I did keep the GT 350 R and the GT 500 CFTP only because ford stopped producing them. I actually did not drive them at all this summer. I actually spent time driving my LC 500 and my RCF track edition this summer. I am very unhappy with ford.
You posted those comments in March of this year. We can all see the date in the posts. So you bought the LX600 in 2023 and now in 2024 you have a post about trading it for a Bronco.
