Now I own two 200s, one with an L and one with a T

[dnh1]

Broke down and bought my wife a 2011 LX 570, black leather interior. Its pretty sick.

The 2008 LC which just hit 60,000 on the ODO is on the right. I still love my LC.

I do like the leather on the LX, and, living in SC, A/C seats would be nice. I also like the height control (have 3 small kids) and the real wood on the inside. Also has the USB port, which the new LC does too, I realize.

Not too much different otherwise, except for price

Congrats, nice looking pair. I also hear you on the cooled seats and real wood.

Pretty sweet!
Is the LX noticeably quieter on the inside?

It's nice to hear some satisfaction stories with the newer LC's/LX's.

As opposed to the usual bashing the vehicles get, I saw them built at both Tahara and Yoshiwara.

They are not lacking in the QA dept. Trust me.

There is this beautiful woman on the LX570 line at Yoshiwara that examines the body lines of the LX. She is hot and the LX is hot.

I seen this with mine own eyes.

I will take some good pics of them for comparison and contrast tomorrow.

I have not noticed that the LX is quieter. I am not aware of the LX using different materials at all from the LC as far as keeping it quiet.

They are both extremely quiet.

Same door panels same good same rear quarters. All windows the same.

Front quarters slightly different and tailgate panels - the top part of the clamshell at least - is slightly different. LX has bigger taillights.

Rear bumpers the same. Front different due to LX with round fogs and LX square. Main difference in the look comes from the headlights sweeping back on the LX and being much more upright on LC.

The LX does not have the awful license plate mount stamped into the bumper that the LC does. No idea they do that on an LC.

But let me post some side to side pics tomorrow and demonstrate.

The LX has a black engine cover under the hood. That helps reduce engine noise.

Time to lose those running boards.

15 min job and will give you a reason to buy an air ratchet from Lowes. $25.00
