I like it. It's basically a murdered out LX...I also like the spider web grill on the LX sold outside the U.S.

Me too. My local dealer ordered the TRD body kit for an LX570 earlier this year and it had that spider web grille. It looked incredible in person.

If I could get a supercharged LX570 Inspiration Series with the TRD Kit, red leather, and a nice set of 22 inch wheels that would be awesome. That would be the ultimate SUV.

I actually like it. I'd still take an Escalade as my big body SUV of choice though.

No we do not want another RXL. The LX has more than enough space and the only downfall to that is the middle row is not movable so you cant allocated more space to the 3rd row. Surprisingly, the GX can.

I agree. The under body of landcruisers are pretty solid and probably havent changed much.

For $90K starting price? This vs a Range Rover and its clean elegant styling? Get the RR for the $100K+ price tag. The RR, you dump quickly the minute it gives you a sniff of a suspension, sensor or transmission glitch. The LX you keep for a long time. The 90s LX/Landcruiser were the real charm. These LX's are strangely mini-vanish, soccer mom fodder. They don't look right.

The Rangies have not evolved either but they always played the rugged royalty role better.

I should correct to say they kept the classic lines and styling cues. Obviously a RR has evolved significantly. But one can easily see the heritage. The LC/LX for some reason got softer and can be mistaken for a large minivan.
