Similar to Jeep and its Wrangler which use Rubicon name, the name of this offroad special edition can be for example Fordyce Creek :-)

Hi Ohiois350,
How did You like Your 2013 LX? Can you post your experience and may be a little comparison with your 2016.
I am looking forward to buy a 2013 as they can now be had for a good price.
Thank You.

I love my formal 13" LX, when i first had it i said wow, it feel so smooth, i think for the ride, they are both same, but for the techs, the new LX way better, my new LX haven't arrive yet, it is coming at the end of this month, therefore i can not really compare much more

I got a loaner RX Hybrid from Lexus dealer, and I found this new RX has 2 figures that LX 570 does not: 1) Departure line..at freeway speed and cruising, I intentionally took my hands off the steering wheel, the car steers itself within the lane and even on slight curve of the road, however the warning signal was on " hands are off the wheeL". 2) On the windy road, the headlights move to either left or right side depends where the car is going ( Like BMW headlights). For instance, if the car is steered on the right the headlights will follow that direction rather than straight.
So what I am trying to say is.......Will new LX570 2017 have those figures after all it is $100K truck? Is it a software or/and hardware upgrade for the steering? What about LX 570 headlights, hardware and software upgrade?

On our 2013 LX570, the HID headlights swivels and turn with the steering input. So is our 2013 RX450h.

If you adjust your headlights the "feature" is irrelevant.

It would make sense. My LS with adaptive headlights is much better when turning 90 degrees to other street or on some mountain roads with very sharp turns. I hate Lexus that they did not add this feature for 2016 LX.

True, but with less moving parts and probably the beam pattern providing the same coverage engineers and bean counters were in agreement heaven.
