Because they want to have a 160 MPH speedo, and you would have too many numbers if you went from 0-160 in increments of 10.

 

JLR does odds if you want something different

 

very nice makeover.

 

member of my family has a 2015 MB C class, and I drive a 2009 previous gen. The new one has 10 mph increments and every time I look down to check the speed, it takes me an extra few milliseconds to comprehend since everything is so squished together. I prefer 20mph increments personally

 

i really like the gauge cluster

 

I like the fact that it has a full suite of gauges. I know the LX570 always has, but having the oil pressure and voltmeter is a nice touch, gives a sense of utility to the truck.

 

i agree completely. i own an third-generation IS and was on the fence about the grill when i bought it, although it's grown on me. that said, i do not at all like the way the direction the marque is going with the front ends of the vehicle lineup. they are becoming more and more garish, unrefined, and generally aesthetically unappealing. the marque's new signature grill really needs to be toned down quite a bit to provide for some semblance of elegance.

edit: i just saw the gs facelift pictures and almost died. oh my god.

 

Love this refresh much better than the updated GS. Both inside and outside are so much improved. Good job giving it an 8-speed auto too.

 

Bold wheel design (unbold offset), bold front end/rear end design. They couldn't do much to save the side profile but thats just nitpicking.

Great design, should see a nice sales bump. The previous iteration couldn't compete with the bold designs from the GL and Range Rover, Escalade and X5, now its a real competition.

 

This needed a much bigger redesign though, both inside and out. They did a great job... with more features standard though, no lower cost model expected.

 

Looks great. About as modern as one can make an older body look. Big grilles belong on big trucks. Rear lights are very slick and clean. And the dash and center stack are a model of symmetry. Wish other brands (Audi, MBZ) would integrate their nav screens the same way Lexus does.
About the upside-down numbers following the edge of the gauges... I'm surprised no one has mentioned this was at one time a Lexus trademark. Both the first and second gen IS had this feature. Then it was dropped alltogether only to sprout back on the LX, of all vehicles. Quite surprising, but I like it. You definitely get used to it and it's easy to read eventually.
I agree about the lack of 10 mph increments. Those would really be appreciated as well as finally dumping the useless kilometer numbers that clutter up the U.S. speedos. Does anyone around here actually count their speed in KM's? I've never heard of such here or in any magazine. Seems like it should have been dropped long ago for U.S. vehicles.

 

I like it..! I like it a lot better than the Re-freshed GS.. I must be getting old.. lol

If this LX gets better than 20 mpg.. I'll be planning to get one..

 

I like it!
i think they needed to release better interior pics with the press release though, too dark....anyone got any real life pictures from pebble beach?

 

Yeah whats up with photography seriously? They spend hundred of millions for the facelift yet they cant get proper marketing material? Just take a look at Benz and new C coupe.

Anyway LX is much stronger facelift then GS, looks like a brand new vehicle. I love it. This is a new RR on the block trust me.
