Thats a great looking LX. One of the best I’ve seen.

Only 999 will be built. The price is crazy and the used market price will be insane. Flippers :deadhorse:

I am tempted with the onyx PVD. It reminded me of the titanium finish on the RX F wheels but of course with more reflection. I contacted them to see if there is any place near me. How long did the process take?

Yes. That's why I'm happy with the LX. My driving is spirited most of the time, and I drive 80% of the time in the city. During road trips, I would get 23-24mpg in the Macan and 18-19mpg in the LX.

In real life driving, turbo V6s aren't better in terms of consumptions vs the V8s that they replaced. Its a scam. They are too throttle sensitive. My previous V6 Macan S would average 14mpg. My LX averages 12mpg. The same has been experienced with the Porsche after they stupidly dumped the V8s...

That looks really good. Will you wrap some of the chrome bits on the LX into similar black chrome?

The Macan was solid and overall a really good car. I kept it for 2.5 years and sold it because our family was growing and needed a bigger car for our roadtrips, so we got the 16 LX. The V6 in the Macan S didn’t give me the joy that a V8 would have given. I got an excellent deal about 20% less...

I also had a Macan and people cared about it and asked questions how I paid for it, etc. coz its a Porsche. My LX costs 50% more and no one really cares about it. A neighbor thought it was an Infinity. I really don’t care what random people think about my cars and certainly would not give it a...

Where is it located in the LX?

There is no button for the ECT PWR function on the 2016+, is there one? On my LX, the button is ETC 2nd Start, similar to BW200. To make the transmission be more sporty I move the gear lever to the left which is the sport mode. When I am in the mood, I would use the paddles and change manually.

The best compliment a car can get is that after 10+ years and 150,000+ miles it drives the same as day one. No other vehicle can claim that except the LC/LX. Thats my experience with the 100 series and hopefully my 200 series will prove the same.

I don’t think the buyer or the pereived extra maintenance has anything to do with the prices. Lexus has been making the most reliable cars for the past many years. These price discrepancies are only exclusive to the US market because they are simply exporting here less numbers of LCs than LXs...

Toyota Rent a Car | Dealer Locator Wow! didn't know that you could rent directly from the dealership. No 200s though.

Only downside is maneuverability of the 200 compared to the 100 and that's down not only to the size but also the mass of it as you feel an added body roll in turns. But on highways, bad roads, and offroading, the 200 smokes the 100.

I am also interested in a 200 rental in Utah and Denver. Will be skiing next month in Colorado and and we are also interested in visiting some of the national parks in another trip in May. Would love to have our LX with us but a rental would make me happy.
