I’m jealous that they get the Land Cruiser J300 overseas because personally I feel it’s a superior design than the LX we have in the U.S.

The J300 interior is attractive, designed functionally well without the two screens LX requires, which to me screams afterthought. Not good on a flagship especially when you’re running the outdated infotainment system. The J300 front grille is bold, commands attention without looking controversial. You lose some sophistication on the LX standard grille.

I would not have had any problems if they slapped a Lexus badge and “lexified” the J300 a bit with upscale materials such as alcantara and massage seats, rather than spend tons of money on R&D to give us the LX in its current state.

In Los Angeles I can count on seeing a X7 or GLE/GLS at least once a day, usually several times. I can count on one hand how many LXs I’ve seen in the wild since it’s been available. I bet that number would be higher if we had a Lexified J300.

I have to disagree. The LC 300 interior may be functional, but it would be extremely out of place in a $100k vehicle in the US. The LC interior is much nicer than the LC300 interior. I think the LX looks pretty good from outside with the appearance package or F Sport grille.

Correct, I heard Q4 2024. It was funny because I heard it from a Lexus marketing specialist (i.e. not a real Lexus employee, but was trained by Lexus) at my local autoshow but I forgot. With that said, I then bumped into some news that the LX700h will arrive in the last quarter of this calendar year.

BestCar is suggesting the LC300 minor change will only apply to the infotainment and TSS3.0. You would think if the LX gets the 700h a hybrid version of the LC300 should also be developed.

With the V35 possibly having only 3-4 years left in its lifecycle could it be possible the LX700h get delayed until a replacement engine could be developed?

The people who do this are only half the problem, the people it works on are the other half.
