JX1 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 This doesn't compete with anything from Ford or Lincoln. A XL-sized fixed top Bronco in a tux on T3, maybe so. Toyota Sequoia does, which should be coming out real soon. This just might degenerate into polarized discussion like the Tundra, considering the subject matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, it's irrelevant to the LX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The navigator is a competitor to the lx. Full sized body on frame luxury suvs with 3 rows of seats priced at or over $100k. It's funny, many ppl criticized ford for not putting the wiper in the spoiler like Toyota and gm, and now lexus abandoned it on their own suvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang84isu Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) It's interesting how everyone is now jumping on the bandwagon of spelling the brand's name out with wide set letters in lieu of having a logo. Lincoln was a trendsetter. Edited October 10, 2021 by mustang84isu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docarter Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I don't get the hype over Lexus LXes. I have been in one and it was like a bigger 4Runner. Nothing stood out about it whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomcat68 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 It is a "look at me" grille, followed by the most forgettable, derivative CUV ever. So, it's "Oh my god" followed by Zzzzzzzz! The interior is good, but not great by luxury car standards. The Jeep interiors posted earlier are better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang84isu Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Looks like somebody at Toyota took this BMW meme too seriously. I can't believe somebody in Toyota's styling department signed off on that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasRedneck Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That overstated grill on current models is what made Lexus be taken off our "short list" when we were looking this summer (when the better half gets a new car, I get her to look at everything offered on the market, so she doesn't have regrets....lol). We both found the front end hideous on the '21 models - someone obviously decided to WhataSize it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These have never competed directly with anything Ford sells and this was noted when the nameplate was launched in 1996 and when first redesigned in 1998, where a Ford executive expressly stated that the Land Cruiser and LX are not on their radar. Toyota's target has always been Japanese competition and/or Range Rover with this vehicle. Not Lincoln. The day Toyota decides to make a larger Sequoia-sized offering at Lexus, they are not competing with Lincoln in this category.

This plainly doesn't, as maybe a Sequoia sized Lexus vehicle would. In its own category essentially. This generation of LX looks to be targeting cost-cutting anyway, based on what I have seen. It's not the leap I would've liked to see after 14 years, like I got with the 2018 Navigator.

I try to be objective as a Ford guy and cannot consider that to be fairly accurate, when Lincoln easily borrowed that from R A N G E R O V E R (sub-brand) and P O R S C H E. As the case with the 2011 Explorer, it's obvious where the spelled out letters came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, since Lincoln NEVER did spaced out letters before in their history......before Range Rover even existed....pure copying lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
