I am on my 3rd.

I was one of the first to get the first in 2008. 2010 and now 2012 just 400 miles ago.

I have tried MANY and the LX is for ME!

Greg,
I thought they didn't make a 2012. Did you get an 11 or 13?

Sorry, it was a 11 just purchased in 12 a few weeks ago.

I am first on my dealer's list for the 13. Not real sure I will,take them up on it as there are some elements of the front end I do not like.

Wow good for you! I just bought a 2011 as well!
2013 would be nice too! Can't wait to try out the REAL cooled seats. I'm envious of the day time LEDs ..
I love my 2011 though, it's like the last classic Lexus before they turned AGRESSIVE....

I might be in the minority here, but I like the new aggressive look of the LX. I passed on a 2011 because if the look. The only reason I'm back looking at the 13 is thanks to the new styling.

I like the looks of the 2011 better. I wish the 2011 had led daytime running lights, blinker in the side view mirror, hid headlights, and dual tv's like the 2013. But couldn't pass up on the deal I got on the 2011. $10,000 off msrp. so I bought it.

You definitely got a better deal ! You bought yours a week or so after me and I paid about 8 grand more.....

If you really love the day time LEDS I saw a LX with what looked to be aftermarket LEDS which looked OEM to me. I would love to find where the LX owner got them. I have passed this vehicle twice and would love to ask him for details.

I was hoping someone would let ME know.

I only see this vehicle head on about once a week. Will tryot get a shot with the iPhone. They look like ther are six bright LEDS mounted in the open area at the bumper. They are striking.

It will cost about 5 grand plus paint though...

Im guessing the lights need to be ordered separately from the dealer.

We love the vehicle - it is as close to a LS ride as you can get in an SUV. Stil getting used to the gas mileage, but love having the storage and feel / handling on the road.

I agree with the comments noted above relative to the "hidden *****". Been driving the LX for 6 months and still cannot find the odometer reset or the camera ***** without looking down behind the steering wheel. And I wish the 3rd row seats were removable or folded down into the rear deck.
