Agreed 100%. I don’t feel there are any ‘must have’ Lexus models right now and am open to other manufacturers. I am not in the market now, but when I am, I will look at all manufacturers.

No way, at least I hope not. An LX as a crossover is a grave sin.

I'm guessing it will be based on the new 300 series Land Cruiser, which I'm sure will be better than ever.

spwolf

that does not exist anymore... it will be V8 bi-turbo.

AJT123

All I'm seeing is that it will have a 3.5TT V6 from the LS. I hope I'm wrong.

I have no doubt the interior will be great, but if it is not a V8 and does not improve on the acceleration of the current model, I am going elsewhere.

Yeah, you can make delusional comments all you like, show me a RR that is 5 years old?

Thank you spwolf, you are correct about this information. According to a trusted person who has information, this vehicle will target the Bentayga from Bentley and is now divorced from Land Cruiser. It is a bi-turbo V8, very similar to LC F engine. LX 500d has been trademarked as well. Take care my friend! Bowing out...

The Toyota Century currently uses the LS600hL's 5.0 / Lexus hybrid drive set-up. It replaced the 5.0 V12.

So Land Cruiser will get V35A-FTS and the LX600 will get a forced induction V8? Nice to hear they are making more of a distinction

AJT123

What are you talking about? How am I delusional?

BOF is vastly better than unibody for towing, that's just a fact. Off roading, too.

I don't want the new LC/LX to lose the BOF design.

Probably by the time this LX600 is available, there will be an entirely new Bentayga.

But divorced from the land cruiser is a good thing.

If that’s a diesel i can only imagine how tiny the sales numbers will be.

Toys4RJill

I highly doubt we will see a V8 for this model.

Dave600hL

Sorry, I think you better go back and re-read my post. But just in case I will explain myself here.

I said, "show me a RR that is 5 years old?"
Implying that Range Rovers even without towing won't even make it to 5 years old, ie: I was implying that is how badly built they are. ie, I was saying your statement of a Range Rovers even being able to tow for fives years was a delusional statement.

Hope that helps.

Edit: As you can see in my sig, I am on your side in this case.

spwolf

good to know, thank you so much as always!

AJT123

Lol yeah I caught it earlier....lol sometimes I'm dense on here, or doing multiple things at once. I don't know how your signature escaped me. Yes, I was being delusional even stating that, lol.

Rock on, I hope to have my LX within a year.
