Yes but they want to know the stats, are you kidding?
I'm dying to know if this new one beats the old "fast" V8 with the 6 speed auto. My guess is "yes" though like it says, the engine isn't pleasant once the tach gets up there. That sucks.

have to say i really enjoyed alex's review, besides the quirky interior center stack, i think it's a great vehicle and will do well.
i looked at trim packages on lexus' website and it's disappointing the typical lexus trade-offs are there and cost-cutting. for example, the side sunshades are not powered and you can't get them at all with the f-sport package.
even my santa fe has side manual sun shades.
the 3rd row seats are (still) for kids only, but better packaged than the last lx at least.
i sense this lx is far more refined on and off road. very quiet, very smooth, more efficient, faster, lighter, very 'what lexus should be'.

But I do agree with you and I was actually thinking the other day, 7 seconds 0-60 is fast enough in general for a vehicle. In my opinion. Plenty to keep up, not fast enough for your kid to kill themself the first 60 seconds.
I do not like that AHC isn't standard, and I don't believe even available on the model they anticipate that will sell the most here.

If you read the fine print, it's a goal. Not an all out commitment. So they're gonna sell a 700hp Escalade that everyone will drool over starting in what, '23 or '24 and some lucky folks will buy, then just kill it four years later and say "enjoy your batteries"? I don't think so.,
Cadillac’s proclamation didn’t have the same fine print. They very plainly said every new intro from here forward will be EV. They don’t have to stop offering a 700hp Escalade, the next one will just be powered by batteries.
Lets be realistic- even if the goalposts move and they offer an ICE engine for the next gen Escalade, the 700hp supercharged V8 won’t be the one to survive in the 2030s.

Tail gate is one of our family most used LX features, the kids were little we used it as a diaper change table; kids got older we used it as a bench eating pizzas or what not. Last camping trip we were on it was raining like crazy and it was a shelter / bench while we setup tent. Or we are at. the kids soccer games, just pull in reverse and sit on it.
Not happy its gone, now kids are getting older/taller the 3rd row is getting useless for me; lets see what the new sequoia looks like.

The more I look at it and the more I read about it, the more I love it.
The Car and Driver article was very positive. The Motor Trend article was a bit weird and sloppy. I don't get how they were complaining that there is no wireless charger for the driver yet their pictures clearly show one on the center console. The also said the AHC is hydraulic but I thought it was air on this one? Also had a typo in there...it's an "LX600" and not an "NX600"... At least they did mention the microsuede headliner.

can't believe the Digital Rearview Mirror is only available on the top ultra luxury model.
reviewer says his tundra has that though.
however, the lx has tow hooks.

By the sound of things this car will be a nice upgrade for existing LX/Land Cruiser owners.
