If it keeps the V8 those of us with 2020's and 2021's will see values drop. I intended to keep my 2020 forever due to V8 but if newer one is nicer and has v8 powertrain it will be hard not to upgrade.

If it's a hybrid v8 with a bigger gas tank or more efficient v8, I'll take it in 2023. I can wait. Or a solid state cell will work too.

LX 600 seems to be likely TTV6, with hybrid assist. Typically Lexus denotes ALL hybrids with "h", but I guess not this time around. We'll see, just like NX 350 revealed the future of GR V6 replacements.

A TwinTurbo V6 with a highbred assist between the engine and the transmission is not a move towards longevity and reliability. Neither is lighter construction with aluminum frame components. Yes the aluminum can be made more rigid but will not be more reliable or durable for long-term reliability. Toyota definitely seems to be taking a different direction with the Land Cruiser and the LX the icon will be dead with this new 300 series the value of the 200 series will continue to increase overtime.
