Replying to: bmlexus (Feb 14, 2008 10:28 am) If you paid 85K for the 570 you are NUTS, CR invoice including the 1200 hold back is 63K. With a few add ons you can get it for 70-75 or less. I drove it and it was great ride and feel all around. Replies to this message: founder (Feb 15, 2008 11:59 am)

Replying to: bmlexus (Feb 14, 2008 10:28 am) I agree with you on the quality of lexus. That is the main reason I held off buying the Range Rover, which I liked. Unfortunately the Range Rover as i've heard is not reliable. Great mechanically but electronically wise a lot of them European makers don't match the Japanese. Even issues aside lexus does not match the same prestige as the Range Rover.

Of few more impressions, in no particular order....   Driving the 2008 TLC - only drove it about 10 miles, but that included a main street, and whirl on/ off the interstate and back... as noted, it had more "umph" than my 2000 TLC, the two-tone interior was "nice" (too bad the sales guy had no idea what he was showing me, hence his attempt to steer me to the Seqouia LOL)... 2008 LX570 - the overall driving experience was more pleasing, same "umph" and get up and go, but somehow more quiet... then tune up the ML sound system and WOW - felt like an 18yr blasting the radio...really liked the adjustable suspension - always liked this on the RR, and my wife is demanding that "our" next SUV have it so she doesn't enjoy killing herself getting the kids into their car seats....also, when driving the two, the Lexus just felt more "upscale" - to tell the truth, given the common looks of many Toyota SUVs, I bet other drivers thought that when I was driving the TLC, I was instead in a gussied up Highlander LOL.. the LX570 is hard to confusion with the other Lexus SUVs... my take on things for what it is worth Replies to this message: carnutinca (Feb 22, 2008 7:54 am) vtdoc (Feb 26, 2008 11:00 am)

Replying to: bullethead (Feb 17, 2008 2:24 pm) I had a $1,000 deposit since August on the new 08 LX570. I got an email from my dealer and test drove it last week for about 15 miles, both around town and freeway. It's undoubtedly the best driving SUV out there. Plenty of power now (I have a 06 LX470) and less body roll. More room in the driver's seat so you don't feel like you are eating the steering wheel (I'm 6'1" but fell like Shaq in my 06 LX). The exterior is very, very similar to the old model. The interior is just like the new LX460--which is pure Lexus. Too many stupid tech things IMO. Also, the cameras are cool but would take some getting used to.   MSRP was right at $84K. Mark up is about 12% on Lexus so invoice is around $74K not including the dealer hold back. My dealer wanted MSRP which I consider a rip off. $90K OTD for this truck is ridiculous. $3K over invoice puts it at $77K which is what I plan to pay for it later this year. December to Remember?

Replying to: carnutinca (Feb 22, 2008 7:54 am) I drove the LX 570 and got some prices from a local DC dealer. He wanted MSRP, 80K 81K and 83K, nuts to you
#135 of 167 hi by bmlexus Feb 27, 2008 (12:17 am)
No matter how high price lexus gets it will still sell main reason SUPER RELIABILITY.   I love bmws in everyway but with the software problems to reliability is the main thing that scares me IMO you never have to be scare in a lexus for reliability issues and electronics failure
#136 of 167 Test drive by aha4000 Mar 02, 2008 (11:52 pm)
Just have a test drive today, the lx570 is so impressed. Quieter than my 2008 Rx350 when idle. The noise on highway is also very low. Asking salesman to a rugged way, driving in a 80-90 km speed. I can not hear the noise from the floor/ just feel the damping. Third row seats leg space are still limited. Interior finishing is very well, better than/ not always luxrier than my friends' X5, GL550 and Q7. Love the Mark. sound system. Outside finishing is also very well. ( compare the tail , chrome / use the ruler to measure..., you will know what I mean) Replies to this message: vtdoc (Mar 03, 2008 7:50 am) bmlexus (Mar 03, 2008 11:02 am)
