Super Lux comparo in Motor Trend
1. Range Rover
2. LX 470
3. Lincoln Navigator
4. Infiniti QX 56
THey still loved the Lex after all these years. They simply loved the interior, the off-road capabilities and the quality it exudes. The minus was it was short on power.
The Infiniti was a big shock at last. They loved the powertrain but the interior got a universal thumbs down as cheap and the truck rattled like a bus fool of schoolkids according to the editor.

I have the magazine , i'll scan it if you guys want me to.
I'm happy the Lexus LX 470 beat the QX56 and surprised it beat the Navigator. But you have to admit the quality of the interior of the LX 470 is amazing even though it's been out since 1998. I checked out the QX56 a couple of weeks ago and it felt like I was sitting in a Armada however it is roomy have to admit that. The Navigator is a pretty roomy car itself however it feels cheap too in some ways but way better feeling then the QX56. However out of the four the Lexus LX 470 remains my choice even though the Range finish first.
The LX 470 has a look that has aged well in my opinion.

Hey guys,
I read the article, and was happy that the editors were still gazing at the interior of the LX like kids in a candy store. I agree that the QX56 is a surprise, but I thought that it might beat out the Navi. I still do not understand why the editors like the new Rover so much? I have spent ample amount of time in many and still hate those crusty hard seats. Yet I simply just cannot win an arguement with my friends/friends parents and family members that Lexus Vehicles are underpowered. I claim that I absolutely need to ****** up a Supercharger (when the restyle occurs and I pick one up from the dealer) and a nice looking dual exhaust, and they laugh at me. I sure hope that Lexus goes for the sky with the next LX. PS- ONESICK- I saw that article about the new LSGT500? Are there any hopes of an LX500?

Lexus Chris,
I would post more pictures of my LX because I get it detailed regularly, and it looks great when fresh with a coat of wax, but my father is using my digital camera at the time and I just don't have the time to go out and ****** a new one. When I do, I will post some new pictures of my audio upgrade and ext. shots. Whats up with your ride? Any pics?

The 2003 LX 470 was in a Edmunds.com comparo and finished second against the Hummer H2, G500, Navigator, and Escalade. The Escalade won that.
