naturally aspirated engines are the past, and lexus has acknowledged it.
There is NO way this engine carries over to next generation LX. I promise u that. Too much
happening in auto world for them to not change it. As i said before, the LX cheerleaders are stuck in the past and need
to move forward

Curious that a poster can guarantee the decision of a multi-billion dollar car manufacturer.
Curious that the poster drives a gussied-up 4Runner and likes to biatch about the LX...proves the old saw about "opinions".
I'd also like to see a quote from Toyota management.

DS: What are your future plans for turbocharged engines
YY: “If we talk about turbos and such technologies – this is something that in the future we don’t think we can avoid, and we will be investigating – perhaps at the time of a new platform introduction.
“If there is an optimal time, we might go from having many cylinders to having a turbo.”
this is from an engineer from rcf, gsf.

You are full of it. You talk like a politician without any back up sources ( hard proof). Turbo has been out there for decades and it is not something new.

You are telling us MB, RR , Ferrari, Bentley engines are not naturally apsirated engines. All engines are naturally aspirated with additional boosters or forced induction that can be either turbo, supercharge, nitrous, electric motors. Without naturally aspirated engines the cars go no where. Your comments become like my 8 years old child.

I agree that FI is the current trend and future of course. The investment into the NX engine is a great start for Lexus however what FI has in terms of products lined up for the v8 replacement is difficult to say. The only thing we can guess is that they're cooking something up for the next generation LS. From there we shall see what if anything Lexus will do. As we all know Lexus takes a conservative approach to everything. Their F line is conservative in power to make sure their reliability associated with their brand isn't hurt. With the majority of owners satisfied with their LX, it makes it hard to invest into development unless theirs a corporate benefit
With owners of MB AMG, M etc one if not primary appeal is that the vehicle they own is at the bleeding edge, if not why are you paying the sticker. With the LX your at the bleeding edge of what can be done reliably. Plus it's not limited to simply onroad.

My question still stands: What makes someone who doesn't drive an LX so overwhelmingly eager to argue about what might be upcoming for the truck?

T4Fun's repeated trolling serves as a valuable, much needed source of content for the forum in between the threads on snowplow body kits and questions on minor trim pieces.

A good thing is we have choices of what we want . Some wants crazy HP on the vehicle so they feel more superior. While others want reliability over HP. If ones do not like what Lexus have to offer, move on .
I, the LX/Lexus cheerleader, am happy with what I have, don't have to worry about depreciation like other cars, and don't want to pay top dollars for something that keep breaking down or bring the vehicle to the shop more than I can drive it. I will keep buying Lexus . Like others have said " never go back". Other than that, just let the CEO of Lexus tells us what direction they will take us, but keep its reliability as a top priority.
