New LX570
Just traded our 2009 LX570 for a 2015 - Nebula Gray / Black interior / all the options. The Dealer has one that just came thru the port at Portland - probably mid / March (at the earliest) before it will arrive here in Indy..
The 09 has been a great vehicle, hoping for similar experience with the 2015.
This is the wife's vehicle. She hated the 09 at first, but soon got used to the size and now you can't get her out of the LX.
I had her drive a new Land Cruiser this morning - drives like a dream, but just does not have the luxury feel of the lexus. She drove the Land Cruiser and followed up with a drive in a 2015 LX 570 - no contest, Frankly the ride in our current 2009 with 82K miles feels about the same.
The Lexus (with all options) came out to be about $15k more expensive than the Land Cruiser.

Nice color, Man! Nebula Gray is beautiful! Enjoy!
Something about the fake wood in the LC turns me off. Since I purchased used, it was hard to justify essentially paying the same amount and getting a lot less with the LC. The LX, as compared with other luxe-suv makes, seems in-line with the 10-15k premium over their chassis mate.

Dealer called and just had a Nebula Gray delivered to them today with pretty much the same options as the one coming to us via Portland.
It is missing 2 options
Paint protection film and
Remote Start
We don't really care about the Remote Start and have never had paint protection film. Dealer says they can add it if we want.
What has been your experience with the hood film - does it really add significant protection? Would you / have you spent $400 for this and been happy?
Dealer says low percentage add it as an option, but some love it. Just looking for some perspective, as I have never had a vehicle with it
applied.

As far as remote start my last two LX units had it and I never used it.
The choice is yours, hope you enjoy!

Congratulations on the imminent arrival. I opted for the paint protection film and it's barely noticeable on the silver. I also got it on the headlights, front bumper and the outside surface of the rear view mirrors. I'd had it previously on a sparkly white GX and was happy with it. My dealer had it done at a bodyshop - I think that's pretty standard? Maybe it's a function of where you live. I'd rather have the nasty stuff on our winter roads hit something other than my paint and headlight assembly. We also get quite a bit of blowing sand, tumbleweeds in the fall, and rocks being kicked up by big rigs. And, it hasn't seemed to interfere with getting the vehicle detailed.

I had the front of my 2014 wrapped in Xpel Ultimate (also have it on my 911).
Full hood, full front bumper, front quarter panels, headlights, both side view mirrors and the edges of all 4 doors (like a door edge guard). Total cost was $1100.
They can also put it on the windshield to help stop chips (which I didn't have done), but now wish I had as I've got a couple of small chips from rocks. If I replace the windshield at some point I'll have it done then.
