Called the LX Inspiration Series, it's an appearance package for the already opulent Lexus SUV.
It starts with black paint and black wheels, then adds black trim to the headlights, fog lights and windows. Its grille gets a new dark chrome surround — as though it needed to be any flashier. The headlamp lenses are smoked black as well. Around back there's more black chrome accents around the taillights, license plate surround and back door.
Then for what we can only assume is for balance, Lexus gave it a white leather interior. The white leather is complemented by plenty of black leather to create a two-tone appearance. It looks expensive and classy and all of the things that a $100,000 Lexus should be – this special edition climbs over the century mark at $101,715 including destination charges. You do get a fully-optioned version of the LX with the four-zone climate control, heated/cooled rear seats and projector door lamps, but this version is still significantly more expensive than the base Lexus LX which comes in under $90,000.
The Toyota Land Cruiser-based LX is ancient at this point, and frankly this doesn't do much to move the needle. No other updates appear to be in the works for now, so you better really like this traditional SUV to go grab one up. Only 500 of these "Inspiration Series" special edition models are planned if the blacked-out exterior strikes your fancy.
Looks pretty cool - the paint looks to be a bit different than the traditional black. Am I the only person on CL that hates the projector door lights? I was really hoping Lexus would avoid this - to me it's obnoxious.
Lots of this stuff is only new for the US market but has already been available elsewhere for a while now.
That interior color has been available in other markets since the updated LX launched in late 2015 ( MY2016 ).
Projector logos have been available in other markets since MY2017
This is how the black edition LX looks in some markets ( 2nd pic shows one of the interior colors the US doesn't get on the LX )
they need to make an LX570 L ... at least for the US market. Navigator and the Escalade ESV are the only extended options, Lexus should really consider this as another option to the current two...basically what they did for the RX 350 L is what's needed for the LX
I like the black on beige interior, however Lexus is destroying what was once a wonderful vehicle and has now turned the LX into some sort of Acura beak/Jurassic Park pterodactyl monstrosity. All for the wonderful price of $100,000 US....bury this stupidity in the Alberta Badlands.
The horizontal grille looks boring. But those other pictures with the stylized mesh grille really look good. I think the hourglass outline would look better in a darker metal finish though. I don't know how anyone sees an Acura comparison in this thing though.

This is the first time we have agreed on something!
awww but he's the best! he had basically this entire forum eating out of his hand with that masterfully crafted 5-10 mph over the speed limit thread. and then you had the mmarshall's and the lexusctjill's (bless them) who are just genuinely well-intentioned people that replied to the bs in as helpful and sincere a manner as they could. i honestly shed a digital tear when that thread got closed down lmao... things were really starting to get saucy!
i get eager with anticipation when i see theory816 has left the most recent message in a thread lol. when the upstate ny limo crash happened and a post was started about it, i was like oh gawd...
