Well, yesterday Lexus calls to tell me that they have a demo car. Went and had a look and I have to say I was very impressed with the interior. The seats are more comfortable than the S-class and the Mark Levinson entertainment package is really good. Sound is great with tons of base. I was not able to test drive it, they said they were giving me a call when they start the test drives.

Supercharged LX was only a limited run of 200 or so vehicles and was released around April 2014 and only lasted the duration of MY2014 so it has been out of production for over a year now. Only MY2014, no MY2015 supercharged LX have been made. It is a TRD supercharger as well and the whole TRD program has not been discontinued. As i said though you can probably still find a kit and if you end up needing any spare parts anytime in the next 10 years, you're good.
Anyways, there are only a handful of 5.7 superchargers left out there!

For some reason, the factory supercharged LX makes much less power than the supercharged Tundra or an LX with the Tundra kit. However, making the Tundra kit work on an LX isn't foolproof. The main problem is tuning: the most reliable tuning method is the Toyota factory ecu flash (which is no longer offered for any Toyota after MY 2015) vs going aftermarket, i.e. Unichip, which often yields inconsistent AFRs.

I like the front and rear, the front being a lot more menacing than the Land Cruiser and the rear I like the lights better than the LC. I don't mind the spindle grill on a car this big. One thing I was rather disappointed with was the fact that there is no automatic door close when you don't shut the properly.
The demo car was white and looked OK. I ordered a gold sort of color, I don't what the English name of it is???
Over all I liked what I saw and the I liked the way the blinkers are too.

so they still don't have auto door closure? that's odd... but at least they finally put BSM after an eternity!
yup, grille is a big problem, as are most toyota / lexus today just like the lx. very few toyota / lexus can get me to look past the grille, alphard and lx being two of them

More power on top of that is cheap and easy as well. Headers, exhaust, pulley and Bullydog tuner = 550 hp to the wheels.
