the LX is already such a beautiful SUV with a very beautiful interior, and them adding black wood into the interior i think it makes it look even more elegant

This LE is probably a market test for the black wood interior also.

This is now shown on lexus.com

The door badge is a bit cheesy... the didn't even bother to use the Lexus font... more like the Ford font...

I'm looking for a picture of the special "color coded scuff plates." Is that the threshold on the floor where your feet always scuff when you get in and out? I always thought they could have improved in that area... on the Lexus version, at least. Something like this...

That is an odd item. I thought they were already color coded. Totally agree, would have liked to have seen an updated all brushed aluminum or something nicer.

Maybe they're talking about the top of the running boards or rear bumper cover?

the chrome door handles are taken straight from the rest of the world. Aussies and stuff get those standard.







time to get part numbers

oh and another thought, the limited edition should have come all black, no grey cladding.

Something to really set it apart as "limited"
