At the end of the day Lexus is a business. After the smoke show (if there is one, as you posit) they want their money/profits just like every other business.
These need to be moved. They would be all over the place here if you could get them.
talk is cheap. exactly how could they have done both of these things 'easily'?
They way everyone used to. Maybe bump it up half a liter. Tinker with the compression and/or exhaust. Tinker with the software. Add god awful (but defeatable) start stop and cylinder deactivation assuming it's seamless and Toyota reliable.
My point is Toyota could have easily kept the V8 going and kept it power and mileage competitive with, say, the GM 6.2. But they didn't, V8 is gone. Uncle Sam won.

Modern buyers are just too sophisticated for simplistic thinking like that. Even people who make and have a lot of money care about fuel economy to varying degrees.
I have only seen it twice. An Atomic Silver LX600 F-Sport and a regular model in White. Looks great in that color combo F-sport. Amazing what different bumpers and some black trim can do to this vehicle as I find the other trim levels to be horrendously subpar.
