LX600 impressions after one week and 500 miles:
Cons:
-electronic interface is a little odd initially, not as intuitive as my previous lexus products. The past ones were all "hop in, we've taken care of everything" simple. This one has taken some time to tease out things like getting my iPhone to pair consistently, having to note that a "key" is linked to my "profile" (otherwise get a "guest" profile loaded and lots of re-do Bluetoothing and streaming services), etc.
-and that's it. No other cons.
Pros:
-styling. The grill is a love it our hate it piece, and I like it just fine.
-ride. The non-AHC suspension is the perfect blend of comfort and control. The AHC on the f-sport I drove felt alternately lumbery and flinty. This one takes rolls and bumps with aplomb (one big hill with railroad tracks that most people crawl over at 10-20mph can be taken at 50+ with barely a jostle).
-noise. It makes my wife's 2019 gx460 sound like a Jeep Wrangler. It is sooooo quiet inside, typical lexus but way better than previous models, including the lx570.
-engine/transmission. 9/10. Almost always seems to be in the right gear, downshifts aren't Porsche fast, but excellent for what's needed here. It's fast for what it is. I'm a health care provider, and it goes faster than I need it to when rushing to the hospital.
-seat comfort is the best I've ever experienced (and my dad runs a dealership, I've driven everything...)
-space: 2nd row is also roomy and comfortable. Happy passengers.
-lack of a tailgate. I do miss the nostalgia of the fold down rear tailgate, but the way the bumper is constructed, you can still sit on the back with the rear hatch open.
Will be back for updates periodically.
