I do. Drove a 450h for the last week and glad to get back in a LX570. The LX feels like a tank after a few days in something smaller!

Do not forget to hug your LX today!

 

I find myself avoiding my Mercedes to drive the LX...

 

I understand. I not only missed the ride and the space but the RX made me feel so low and unsafe!

The 'view' from the LX is awesome!

 

I've only driven a family members LX once for an airport run. And i can say I truly enjoyed the commanding view from driving it.

 

I like how the hood dips down in the middle so its easier to see compared to the lx470. Sounds like
an isf too.

 

Yes. Especially when I see my wife and kids drive away and I think of the LX's 6,000 pounds and 10 airbags.

 

I absolutely love my lx 570!'
I only have a little over 1 k miles on it and it has been a dream.
I've owned a Yukon , a Denali, a gx 460 and this is by far the most luxurious and perfect ride I have had.
I like the hid lights on the 2013 and everything and maybe I'm one of the crazy few but I really love the 08-11 styling of the lx more. It's just so elegant, understated and beautiful to me. Every crease, crevice ,every design cue is to my eyes ,perfect. I feel like Lexus is trying to look aggressive just to follow.
With the global economy and gas prices going the way they are and with the decline of interest in these full sized Luxo land yachts ,toyotas recent recalls, and japan still suffering and recovering devastation after devastation to their economy and infastructure, I'm sure that some corners will be cut in future models, no matter how imperceptible. Look at the way they made EVERYTHING back then, overbuilt quality.
Im glad I bought my lx when I did .
I feel like I'm in a steel cocoon with my family and I'm finding thoughtful details almost every time I drive it.

 

"Steel Cacoon".

I always say a little prayer for the poor sole that may pull out in front of as my "heavy metal" is likely to win!

I am on my 3rd LX570 and loved everyone of them.

 

I've owned a 2010 and put 30 k on it . The gx handles much better , much sportier but the lx is much more solid , like a tank . Chairs are thicker and heavier . IMHO built much better .

 

Cocoon with Mothra

 

Generally yes, but... I HATE the split rear gate. Hate it. And the tiny gas tank, tinkertoy roof rack, lack of storage near driver, tinkertoy method of fastening middle seats forward so they hit the back of the drivers seat, the rather dangerous streak cycle on the wipers, ***** (camera view, etc.) hidden behind steering wheel, anemic headlights, and inability to remove 3rd row seats. Occasionally when I'm not frustrated with these things I do rather like it.

 

I agree with you on the streak cycle. Just out of curiosity, do you have a cool box? I have plenty of storage in the center console...no cool box

 

Yep, have the cool box. Would have appreciated if Lexus had provided a couple of storage trays for it and maybe some storage in the arm rests. I don't need a ton of space, but somewhere to carry change, pens, etc would have been good.

Cool box is handy though.

 

I hear you. Check out the non-cool-box version some time. The space is cavernous. Comes with a removable tray as well.

 

I do too. I love my tank....
