Hey man no need to get all huffy.
I like the LX. Always have. Just that regardless of how good it is, there's a certain "spark" or something about it that's missing.
Same with the LS, not to mention that what makes an ultralux sedan special is partly that you won't see yourself coming the other way very often. If I drove around in an XJR I'd see way more LS460s before I saw another XJR.
I got nothing against em, and hell it's not like I have the money for any of these cars anyway, just that when I get to wishful thinking generally Lexus isn't what's coming off the tip of the tongue. Rational vehicles are for when you're spending rational money, when the price of the car itself is obscene then you might as well pick a car that you "shouldn't" be buying.

I've always liked the look of the LandCruiser/LX, and loved the truck in general, but the sheetmetal on this new one is lame-o. Don't get me wrong, I'd still hit it if I had the money. If I ever had $60K to spend on a truck...the LandCruiser will be at the top of my list for as long as Toyota chooses to produce it.

Wow, the rear looks awful. The rest of the car looks good, especially the interior.
But the MDX is so much nicer, smoother and powerful than this Lexus. The MDX also looks better, has better quality and more luxurious.

slightly off topic but in the same line of reasoning
march 07 bmw 3 series sales total 11259, lexus total car sale (all the models combined) 18128 of which 5077 (2.6% decrease from march last year) was IS250+IS350, mb total car sale 15369.
truck wise lexus killed both bmw and MB. lexus sold 10727(decrease of 22.2% from march last year), bmw sold 6579(increase of 18.9% from last year) and MB sold 6243 (increase of 33% from last year)

Probably was all the RX's Lexus sold.
Anyway, back to the LX...
I'm not really sure what they could do to make it seem more interesting. I mean just from looking at it if you didn't know it was a Lexus it'd be quite impressive.
I think if anything maybe the Lexus reputation for being the vehicular equivalent of a high-end Maytag washing machine makes their really expensive models seem less neato.

I really think the rear lights on the 07's are much nicer to look at than the 08's. The car is otherwise a nice looking SUV besides the rear. Really sad how they have no styling in the rear.

That being said, I like the old design better. It looked tough, while this new design is minivan like.
