Replying to: steve_ (Apr 04, 2007 7:57 pm) I hope this is pure speculation rather than some inside dope. As I've said before, Lexus has alot more competition in this category than it did when the LX470 came out. If they want a sales success, they should keep the price unchanged from 2007, despite the added features. Also, the exterior styling imho is pretty bland; not distinctive enough to support a significant price increase, in my view. |

The beast that is the Tundra engine should keep it afloat, but if the LX can't stay at 12-15k a year, they may drop it 4-5 years from now. Toyota obviously didn't spend too much on 4WD systems, exterior styling, or a new platform. It may just be holding the spot until the other shoe is ready to drop.  DrFill |

Note the comment on clientele. There is an ad before article appears. I think this version of the LX is spectacular and low priced for what you get. It is an SUV and so is not going to appeal to the automobile fashionistas. Site is: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/05/automobiles/autoshow/NUGGET_Lexus_LX570.html?_- - r=1&oref=slogin

Replying to: idele (Apr 06, 2007 1:40 pm) $340,000 is the median income for LX buyers vs. $120,000 for the LS? That is surprising. I hope the 66-69K price range the article mentions remains true.

Replying to: mikeivan (Apr 07, 2007 4:37 am) That's bubinga wood - it comes from Africa and is used in making harps being noted for its mellow sound. I think the LX 570 is the only vehicle with bubinga as trim. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Does anybody know if these seats are removeable? I know they fold up electonically, but I don't want them back there at all. I really like the looks of this new LX.

Replying to: mikeivan (Apr 10, 2007 4:40 am) If that is the case then the trade off seems to be as follows: Good: They fold up nice and neatly and remain folded tightly without the straps nor the floppyness of the old system. Bad: You can't remove the seats for 100% storage capacity. The best solution would have been to go the "fold flat-n-dissapear" route but I guess the physics of this truck won't allow it. If the seats fold up and stay tightly anchored in the up position I can live with them -- I don't carry huge cargo loads most of the time (Bj and Costco runs are the only time I pack the bus in 100%) I'm already making plans in the budget to be able to buy this beast early next year -- if she drives with the smoothness and power I'm expecting it to have then I am SOLD!

Replying to: gteach26 (Apr 10, 2007 5:20 am) I'm not sold yet. Among other things, I'm waiting to see if the rumored 7-seater mid-size crossover is for real...at one point it (at one point called the JX and perhaps looking like the LF-X ) seemed to have been shelved, but I read somewhere that it might ship Spring 2008. |
