What do you all think about the LX 700h

I wish the OT had the F Port grill and styling. Also, I wish I had $120k

Yeah, I really like the front end too. And same lol

The center console looks great, but it feels like they added too many screens in my opinion

I prefer the interior of my TX500 over this awkward layout

I hear you. I liked the TX a lot when I had it. This one feels a bit like a luxury 4Runner? Maybe? The TX felt like a stylish family minivan in an SUV form lol

The infotainment system is overcomplicated but the car looks great

It’s nice they kept some physical buttons unlike the rx500, but why does everything have to look “aggressive” and “sporty”

When I drove the new GX, it was loaded with all kinds of features like cameras watching everything

@vinic
Beats me lol. There’s so much going on inside this car, I haven’t explored it all yet

@vinic
A lot of them feel like they are telling me, ‘The future is NOW old man’ :cry:

Yeah… But it seems like being futuristic means humans don’t need to do as much…

And since being useful is a key value in life, that’s like shooting yourself in the foot.

Welcome to our nightmare

I’m okay with being the old guy…

I prefer physical tools and my usual Lexus…

Man, I miss the days when Sarah Palin was the most ridiculous news story

That dash looks very much like a Toyota dash to me. I know that’s who makes Lexus, but usually, they use nicer materials in Lexus designs. I’d still drive it, but I’m a bit let down by how much it looks like a standard Toyota instead of a luxury Lexus

I actually liked the Tacoma interior way more. This reminds me of the new QX80 with the dual screen setup. But this has ~aluminum trim accents~ lol

:joy: aluminum trim accents. I haven’t seen the new Tacoma’s interior but I will check it out :eyes:
The QX80 is an Infiniti, which is like a Nissan, right? Haven’t seen the interior of that either. Time to Google lol

@Brice
The Tacoma is a 2024 but should be pretty similar to the '25. And yeah, the Infiniti QX80 is basically the luxury version of the $100k Nissan Armada lol. Here are my reviews of both - you can see the interiors in the pictures and videos.

Oh, okay! Thanks! I’ll check it out :eyes: :raising_hands: those Armadas are HUGE

They really are! I’m actually surprised at how small the LX feels. It’s about the same size as the ’17 GX in our driveway. I thought it would be way bigger, relatively speaking lol

Looks amazing! Love the color

Feels like a vehicle that made too many compromises. Love the exterior but the interior seems off and the space inside feels poorly planned

Stupid boot design. That raised shelf messes with the cargo space.

The hybrid engine only gives a tiny 1 MPG gas savings
