They are not even at dealers lot for more than a day before selling out.
Sequoia is crap but I do like this LX600 minus a few changes they made, it's a wholly competent vehicle even if it's outclassed in room, etc. They're gonna sell every single one they send here, like always.
It's not competitive to an Escalade, Navi, X7, etc. but there is a market for these and they do serve a purpose.

Yup
Yup, they will sell every single one they make. I just love that saying
. The profit margins on the LX has to be somewhere like 40%

No LXs at Lexus dealer but a marked up Capstone Sequoia like I said:

that's not saying much. they'll only send as many as demand is showing and i predict the demand is very low.
as of end of march, they'd sold 1572 in the u.s.
escalade sales were 'down' to 9228 in the u.s. for the same quarter.
mercedes gls were 5621 for the quarter.
with only 244 lexus dealers in the u.s. that's an average of between 6 and 7 LX per dealer for the quarter, or 2 a month.

That Defender V8 is pretty amazing, even though it's not a new powertrain. I got to drive one for a week last fall. Sounds amazing. Quick acceleration. Much better driving SUV than the LX; smoother, less body roll. (Although I wouldn't trust a Defender out of warranty)
That being said, outside of the realm of 600 horsepower SUVs... these twin-turbo V6s are more suited to heavy trucks and SUVs than the 2UR-GSE from the LC, RC F, and IS 500. I get to drive a lot of Fords for this job, and Ford's 5.0 Coyote V8 is pretty similar to the 2UR in the way it revs and builds power. And, although it sounds better, it's down on torque which isn't great for these heavy body-on-frame vehicles.

How will they even get those for us if they can't get any LXs?

Because they can get all the LXs we could possibly want. This is all just manufactured scarcity and smoke and mirrors.

so easy to type simplistic statements about what a car maker could have done or should do. massively harder to execute, especially in light of supply chain planning, and may not make sense to execute at all in context of other objectives.

I've always maintained LX isn't their best seller obviously but why would Lexus not want to make the HUGE profit off of each one of these?

Engine age doesn't really matter to me either. 3800s were around for 25 years, just updated continually. Same with a Chevy V8, basically.
Toyota 5.0 is a 15 year old engine but it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
