    To clarify about AutoCompanion's 2023 GX Deal, leasing programs change every month as do the leasing interest rates and programs. What is proposed in the video applies for December of 2023, we have no idea if the V8 GX will be available for lease in 2024. If you're outside of D.C. you will have to ship the vehicle to your home which you will have to pay for.

    Love it.......let me go check I don't think my LX has massage seats. I think the Overlander trim will be the one everybody wants in the used market and hold value best. I really think we would still be driving V8s if not for government emission standards. I've been driving the 3.5 TT for almost 5 years in 2 different vehicles, and I am a fan. In the LX 600, compared to the 570, it is much more fuel efficient. I have owned both. I just finished a 200 mile round trip on open roads at 79 or so mph and get 21, not the 22 as advertised, but the 570 in my hands never got better than 16, ever. I think the 550 will do very well, I'd be proud to drive one. Great review, Kevin. On the highway, the 600 just accelerates like a jet from 70 to 80 or 90 or whatever you want. Lexus Fanboy is signing off.

      Unfortunately car manufacturers have their hands tied a bit. The switch is due more to emissions regulations than anything else. Mileage really isn't improved but emissions is cut in half. I think they would stick with the more tried and true if they could. Not to mention much easier tooling costs that have already payed for themselves.

      Exactly my friend it's gone up across the board drastically when every company was charging 650-995 just a few years ago. Because of this drastic increase in destination that now makes up a decent percentage of the MSRP of a new car, there's no reason for a manufacturer to include it in their advertised price.

    Its an unpopular opinion: I don’t like how rugged it looks. Beautiful, but I feel like it’s not as classy.

The American consumer is paying way more today because of runaway inflation. This vehicle deserves to be labeled the shrinkflation product of Lexus. From a pure consumer standpoint this vehicle will be plagued by massive mechanical problems and failures from turbos and the electric parts. Lexus customers demand more reliability and better performing vehicles than this one will ever be in my opinion.
