Its a mockup I assume, but in that mockup expect some features to be correct. Those platform and motor options are also listed in big bold lettering.

the engine choices do not bother me at all. A twin turbo v-6 is a great engine. The thought of the LX changing it's physical appearance that much bothers me. I think the LX looks great now.

Have you seen the actual pictures. Do you like it ?

Thank you for the picture.

If this is the next generation LX 570, I really like what it is going to look like !

Very interested to see how will the LX look inside. Back of the car looks almost exactly new Rav 4

Toyota / Lexus has a tendency to 'wait' rather than pushing out new technologies like its competitors. yes new techs are nice and cool to have, but Toyota / Lexus focus on 'if it's working nicely why replace' and they want their reliability name to stay unlike others like the BMW / Mercedes / Audi / Land Rover which have nice tech but how reliable are their vehicles after say 4 years? I personally want a reliable vehicle with 'ok' technologies which I enjoy very much in my MY!5. Everytime I see my truck, everytime I sit it it, I felt happy and I enjoy driving it alot. The X7 / Range Rover look nice (design wise) and has new technologies, but I worry alot the reliability of these trucks. Hence I am sticking with my LX for now.

You should get something pre-70's - you'll be able to tool around after the EMP attack kills off the rest of us.
I assume you have your bunker well stocked.

I have a good friend who's the "go-to" guy when an MB dealer can't figure out the problem, let alone the regional tech guy.

He keeps VERY busy.

I wouldn't get either one. I've owned a 2010 (sold) and still own both a 2013 and a 2017. I bought the 2017 new because it was a great deal at $78,000 but I really regret the purchase. It is missing tech and luxury features that have been common on mainstream luxury vehicles like BMW and Mercedes for years. And the infotainment system is, as many magazines have reported, the worst in the industry. It'll drive you crazy. It just adds up to a number of items that beg the daily question "Did anyone at Lexus ever actually drive this thing?" The capper is the recall re the front passenger seat. It hit the internet somewhere around December 8th. Lexus didn't even get around to mailing letters to owners till mid-February. It's now mid-April and they still have no clue what they're going to do. This on a vehicle that runs around 100k. I'd look elsewhere.

^^^^ I agree, at this point just wait and see what the next generation brings as official news should be out later this year. I don’t understand why Lexus/Toyota is so slow to adopt Apple Car Play. A lot of buyers are purchasing vehicles based on technology and manufacturers need to keep pace or potentially lose sales. I would take a current generation LX as is, if it had Apple Car Play.

Big time LEXUS Fan here (about a dozen over the years) - current 2018 LX, previous 2015 LX.

As much as I love the total experience, it is an ancient vehicle.

(Just look where we are posting 2008-present!!!)

Having spent the better part of two days in a new BMW X7 xDrive50i with ALL the goodies, going back to my '18 LX is clearly turning the clock back in technology and ride quality.

The BMW is light years ahead in ride dynamics / tech / etc.

Maybe time to switch ;-(

I think that would depend upon where you want to drive the vehicle. On an unpaved road BMW, RR, and Acura won't keep up with my 200...and the majority of the time I'm not tryin' that hard.

Nor can I keep anything from the "competition" for 10 years and a quarter million miles, easily.

Once again, there's nothing like a 200. We're back to apples and oranges.

i agree with you 100%. The problem is most consumers don’t keep their vehicles that long, nor do they do any off roading.

For someone that takes their vehicles off pavement then the LC/LX simply can’t be beat. For the rest a great riding SUV will suffice, like those mentioned above. At least there are options for off road vs pavement queen.

You're the one comparing apples and oranges.
The Original Post is now 2019 or the future 2020+
Your "insight" is off topic and not relevant . . .

I appreciate that not not everyone here can afford a new vehicle....
And that there are others that are technophobes or Vandals / Luddites by nature.

But to bring it back on topic - the ride dynamics of the BMW X7 xDrive50 are impressively splendid.

hankinid

Are the ride dynamics impressively splendid off-road?
