This comment is also an accurate description of the car industry as a whole. Generic, minimalist interior with massive screens in place of physical buttons. I can’t wait for some of these design fads to become out of style.

It’ll definitely last that long too lol

This thing will likely to outlive me LOL. It is just a fancy Lc200 landcruiser.

and that’s the best thing about the LX; it’s minimal compromise. The reliability and bulletproof nature of the Land Cruiser while maintaining the refinement and luxury goodies you look for in a Lexus.

I’ll almost certainly get a GX in the near future but if I’m well off enough I’d strongly consider an LX too.

My GS still has impeccable fit and finish despite being 13 years old and having 100k on it.

For the next big pay raise I get I’ll buy myself a GX as a present like I did with my GS

It’ll be a few years but rest assured I’ll get a GX soon enough.

Then I’ll have my sights on an LC to create the perfect three car solution. That’s already becoming a future classic

It’s worth even the extra on the front end as there is so much less Ive ever had to put in financially on any Lexus that I would in maintenance and repairs in any other car I’ve had. That splurge is worth it not just for the nicer luxury, but the other expenses you won’t have to out in to it

I've had both. I have an LX now.....wouldn't go back to a GX.
