I think the 570 did not have air. This is the first time the LX gets air.

Correct, the LX previously had an hydraulic suspension, not an air suspension.

Because those are for the few who actually plan to take this offroading.

I believe the suspension on the LX was all four wheels. I think when you may be remembering was the GX was always just the rear which was always annoying to me.

Correct, 200LX hydraulic all around. Much more durable and reliable than air, just change the fluid every 60k.

The GX has a hydraulic suspension at all four wheels as well. But the rear had load levelling air.

Yes I meant the height adjustment only. I used to be jealous of the LX because all four corners had height adjustment.

In-depth video of the new LX600. Looks pretty good to me.

I’m just not feeling it. The cup holders.. the shifter. The way the Center stack is laid out. I don’t really like the speedometer. I hate the running board design. I also dislike the door handles are not like the ones on the NX that are fixed electric.I like the LEXUS font on the rear but the rear end looks like a mini van. The exhaust pipe or lower part of the rear looks tacky.

for me

it does look like there are under the hood lights. I like the front end.

I still like this but there are some obvious shortcomings:

That is a very cramped back seat, fail. I sure hope the reason for the driver rear side is so cramped is because the rear seat isn't fully back on its rake. 200 rear seat area is absolutely just as comfy and spacious as front, even with seat base all the way forward. The first thing I thought when I saw this was "that's pretty cramped".

Those running boards look absolutely hideous, not even painted for $126,000? The 200s were painted and they don't pop out nearly as much as the ones in this video do. They should be powered here also, if anyone could make that reliable it's Lexus. Maybe they just look bad with the color? Otherwise the side profile of this is bad a--. Small sunroof gets a pass because it's for rigidity i.e. off roading, I'd bet money on it.

I think the looks in general are bad a--. Now we wait 10 days for some legit drives.

I much prefer this video. TFL's looks like it was shot in 480P and then upscaled to 1080.

You're right, quality of the one you posted is much better. I really like that tan interior.
