Thumbs down Not only very ugly squared...

...but those 21" tires should be wonderful off road...at least that's what I learned from the promo video.

The Drive never reviewed anything it didn't love.

Thanks but no thanks...I'll keep my 200 Series.

There is a option to choose tires from 18" to 22".....

Yeah im not in love with the exterior as well as the interior look either. But will have to see it live and then decide.

Pretty sure that's a reference to the front grill--similar shape as the "mouth" of the image.

Pardon my density and thanks for the reference.

As I've posted before, the grill looks uglier whenever Lexus changes it. The 600 is no different.

f sport should be atleast comparable to x7 550 or German hp equal.
stock engine with same brakes but ricer panels is weird. I dont get this whole f sport thing.
the couple of f sport rx i had were worse riding than their regular counterparts.

they should offer like a trd or off-road package instead of f sport.

Isnt F Sport just basically a bodykit with a few changes underneath? if u want a higher HP it should be either F Sport Performance or F badge

The only thing going for Lexus is reliability. When that's out the window, there is nothing special or appealing about Lexus.

Super disappointed by this vehicle. Just minor tweaks from the previous generation that was almost 15 years old. Also, no panoramic roof option for 100k plus car? Seriously wtf were they thinking.

Lexus should definitely fire their designer. So bummed out that the new land cruiser won’t be available in the US. Looks a 100x better than the LX.

I hope they're pawning all their funds towards the new LQ and TX.

Disappointed while somewhat expected... toyota / Lexus isn't known for 'innovation' but rather reliability / endurance. If you want to go into the Amazon in style, drive the RR, if you want to drive out the Amazon safely and surely, drive a Toyota / Lexus. I am not sure what is taking management at Toy so long to implement 'innovation', but I am guessing they want to keep their image of 'reliability'. I was anticipating virtual cockpit and somewhat 'conventional' yet 'modern' exterior design, but none happened. This to me is a 'refresh' and not a 'redesign'. The rear end looks quite boring. Gas mileage is the 'must' for all car manufacturers (and consumers), so unless the engineers somehow redesign the NA V8, V6 turbo / supercharge will be the new normal. Wonder how to new RR will look like (highly hesitate to own a RR but love their design, very elegant imo - and that's why I own the LX instead, much less hassle and easier to fix). Anyways, I wonder how the new V6 turbo stand overtime.
