Chance you take…very nice vehicle…never know . If I didn’t buy for long term and was a lease person, I’d try all kinds of brands. But yes, RR doesn’t quite have a solid reputation for being dependable

I don’t even have words for how pathetic that is. But they sure do look good. I like how they seem to be very customizable.
Oh yeah! Its bad too, its been in a bunch of times too and they can't find the problem. I don't care how awesome a vehicle is, dealing with stuff like that isn't worth it.

Another friend of mine has a full RR, and her gauge panel (which is virtual) never comes on if its been parked in the summer and has gotten hot. So she has no idea how fast shes going etc. They have replaced the panel 3 times and it still does it....so she replaced it....with another Range Rover!

That's precisely why I was disappointed by it at debut. The minivan-esque rear end softened a design that didn't need softening.

Yeah the rear of the current LX is much better looking IMO

Wow not sure if it's the quality of the photos, the color or what but it doesn't appeal to me anymore. Somehow it reminds me the Previa.

Default 2022 Lexus LX 600 F Sport First Look (ClubLexus Official)

Hey, folks! Michael here from the ClubLexus editorial team. Lexus flew me to SEMA to check out all of the cool Lexus and Toyota vehicles in person and I was able to spend a few minutes touring the 2022 Lexus LX 600 F Sport. Not only the first F Sport LX in the flagship's history, but this one is the first LX 600 F Sport to arrive here in North America.

https://www.clublexus.com/articles/2...rt-first-look/

In short, it's lighter, more powerful, looks more modern, and features a number of long-awaited tech upgrades on the inside. Cheers!

I actually like this a lot. It's too bad we couldn't keep a V-8 engine under the hood, but at least the V-6 twin-turbo engine is stronger than the V-8 was.

Great video. I have to say, there isn't much I don't like about this truck with the only exception being the TTV6 but I don't really mind that either. Even though a F-Sport LX is kind of an oxymoron, but I really like the appearance over the regular LX with the only exception being the aluminum trim on the inside, I don't really care for that. I also actually like the two screen infotainment center as well.

In the video the 22's look tiny.

and maybe they need the hood to be a bit higher still

It's funny, I'm actually working on editing my review of the last V8 LX right now. And while I love that 5.7, I tried to put the new engine into context after driving the LS 500 and Ford's version of the 3.5L TT V6. In short, while the V8s sound better, the extra torque from the TTV6 is a lot of fun. And this will be even more apparent on the new, lighter LX platform.

Hahahaha, yeah, sorry about the third-row shots. I usually film content outside. And small sensor camera + all black and low light and window tinting + a color correction designed more of the exterior blacked that out... but there wasn't too much to see there save for the power ports.

Yeah, Toyota claims 6.7 seconds 0-60 which seems really slow considering gain in power and loss in weight. I'd say it will be close to a second quicker than that. It's going to perform quite well.

See....people are fine to accept downsized engines...blah blah blah The performance does not increase...just the MPG where are all those town criers hating on the outgoing 5.7 saying it was old? Must be careful what you wish for...10 speed

Engine is not the only thing that affects performance. The diff and transmission gearing will affect acceleration. One thing is sure, the v6tt is better when it comes to performance and mpg. No matter what you feel and think, numbers don't lie.
