Subtle differences but IMO make a nice difference compared to my '10...but ours just got paid off so no plans to upgrade anytime soon.
I like 2012 LX570 too....except that it doesn't exist because there was no LX 570 in 2012

I would not be surprised if some '13 LX's show a manufacturing date in 2012...I've got a Cruiser in the driveway with a label on the door jamb showing that.

But yours most likely is officially a 2013 model on the title even though with a production date most likely the last quarter of 2012. I think due to the tsunami and the subsequent nuclear power plant fiasco the supply chain in Japan for the LC and LX were put on hold plus this gave LEXUS HQ some time to redesign the front end of the LX for the 2013 LX. I looked hard for a new LX to replace my aging 2000 LX470 with over 280k miles back in 2012 and there were none to be had at any price nearby in SoCal and was told had to wait for the 2013 model.

We really like our 2013 LX570.

In fact, my former 2014 was manufactured in 2013 and had a lower base price than the ones manufactured in 2014....go figure

The production date was first quarter (02/12), assuming Toyota's fiscal year runs January to December.

Usually around September the production year shifts to the following year?
