The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!

[@geethsan1567]

Same here. I like Range Rovers, Cayennes, and etc but deep inside I really love the LX570. If I had the money, I'd definitely get the LX570.

[@deoxysx1657]

This is the review I always end up coming back to

[@SamKhan-rd4rs]

Two things this car needs badly. Ambient lighting and massaging seats. Then it will become the ultimate recipe of success , reliability and comfort hand in hand.

[@tugssodb329]

It has some ambient lighting in the door handles, I think the Lexus company will come up with the new features. Personally I don't prefer that much of ambient lightings in my off-road monster.

[@NytronX]

Lighting on the undercarriage of vehicle is illegal in most states in the U.S.

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I would totally buy this over a Land Cruiser, cause it's more luxurious with a leather stitched dash, height adjustable air suspension & barely costs more, especially now that there's a less expensive two row version which is what I would go for, cause the third row is small.

[@liu564955]

great review as always. being an earlier subscriber, enjoyed every video you posted. You definitely deserve more subscribe. can't wait for the comparison between your GX460 and this LX570.

[@azphilip1960]

Great video as always!!!👍😊

[@fietspomp987]

14:32 "its gonna cost a little bit more to get there." This video was recorded in Michigan, USA. The average cost for one USG fuel is $2,80. The average price for 1 liter fuel in The Netherlands at this moment is €1,80. One USG is 3.7854 liter. So 3.7854 x 1,80 = €6,81. €6,81 Is equal to 7,64 USD. The fuel price in The Netherlands is 7,64 USD compared to 2,80 in the US. Thats 2.7 times as expensive. So a car that gets about 40 MPG costs the same to operate in my European country as this big V8 truck in the US. The costs of operating this Lexus LX570 is probably higher than operating a Toyota Corolla in The Netherlands. So please Americans dont complain about the fuel economy. Just take your advantage of living in a livable place.

[@andrewyang1446]

I think it’s more of an image thing. Looove Land Cruiser AND Toyota TRD. But 570’s always in my heart, especially since it’s body-on-frame, and due to its luxury. A great vehicle-minus the fuel-efficiency of a Prius. I want ‘P’570, please! Haha. Thank you for a great video!

[@otieno2384]

Still cheap is Saudi Arabia. Here in Kenya it costs about 230k $ fully loaded and 190k $ for the base model (after tax). They don't sell like hotcakes here though since they're so expensive, probably about 100 on the roads. But the Land cruiser does sell quite well.

[@COMMANDERFOX31]

Comparing to the one you had, this one seems to have electronics and tech up the ying-yang. Which kind of concerns me when it comes to long term reliability.

Still, they're being conservative, I'm not really concerned tbh

[@connorPiper0]

[@GXKid06]

I want to see this grille on the 2006 LX470. The narrow square body would look good with it.

[@Jia1337]

Dire need of a refresh.

[@Pete_or_Peter4Long]

I know you said the seats are more comfortable in the LX570 vs the Land Cruiser. I was wondering how much difference there is. Is it a night and day difference or subtle? I have a 2009 Land Cruiser now and my only complaint is the seats. I really prefer the low key Toyota brand better but if the seats are night and day more comfortable might have to consider the 570 next. Thanks.

[@TheTopher]

If the seats in your land cruiser bother you, the LX is a big step up in comfort. I had trouble with the LC seats too (I assume they haven’t really changed since 09). Also the GX seats are really good too if you’re willing to downsize a bit. In the LX and GX I felt like you could burn a tank of gas before you’d need to get out and stretch. Didn’t get that from the LC when I took it from Detroit to Pittsburgh...

[@TheTopher]

Or, maybe you could swap in LX seats? I’m with you on the low key nature of the LC, and there’s something really attractive about the relative simplicity.

[@Pete_or_Peter4Long]

TheTopher Just so glad they finally made the TVs on the back of the headrests an option. That was a deal breaker for me. How does comfort on the armrests compare as the Lexus looks more tapered down towards the switches and which screen do you like interacting with more? I always preferred the touchscreen but one benefit of the Lexus I’d think would be not needing to clean screen as much.

[@paparazzi8472]

[@muhaiminjuhayer6082]

[@eleonik76]

Looking at this,and knowing the pursuit of perfection Lexus is dedicated to,makes me wonder if that thing has any competitors at all. BMW X5 or X7,not even close.Mercedes G,off roading might be,but luxury,ride and build quality,far by a long shot. Audi..,give me a brake,its best SUV can compare with RX,not LX. The only reason why we dont see these beautiful monsters in our European roads,is because they are not sold with 2.0 diesels,or 1.8 4 potters engines,like most of the competition does ( Volvo XC,BMW,Audi,etc) And why would they sell? Its a proper luxury vehicle,and the philosophy of driving a luxury is that you would really afford it. Unlike the Germans with their S class and 220d.

[@samkeating1008]

Please POV test drive GMC Acadia

[@Austinomon]

Topher, serious inquiry, I have a 2013 brz. I know you have the 14 and have modded it a bit. I am wondering if I should upgrade my brz or trade in for a newer model year. My car currently has about 90k miles and one accident. Just wanted your opinion I find that you usually make great choices for the car

[@thomasstorrs6345]

I have heard it called the predator grille

[@nimamaxis]

No ambient lights?!

[@aborkmga1]

Am really considering buying one of these but 3rd row is a must for me but I'm wondering about the fuel dose it need premium gas or ruglar cus where am from we only have like 89 octane it cud be very bad for the engine

[@RPGTKingpin]

It'll need premium fuel. 91 octane at least. My GX runs on the same. You could look into the Land cruiser. Won't be quite as luxurious, but it'll still do the job. It has the same engine though, so I dunno if it'll need the same gas or whether is built to be more tolerant of lower octane fuel.

[@brairiraq2449]

بجي طين 😍😍😍

[@dirkcurritzki9585]

wait. 85K? cheaper than the LC200?

[@LifeISMagix]

See, I had to Lemon law back my $60k Lexus GS due to a rattle that was coming for the A pillar. 3 other spare vehicles had rattle issues as well. It’s disheartening that Lexus has these issues.

[@murkage3]

My lc has been working phenomenal but the brakes are so damn squeeky. The transmission also doesn’t like 5 o clock traffic since it’s jerky in low rpm’s

[@dommyjg]

@@murkage3 You don't own an LC. I've driven my fair share of LC's and that 10 speed is a gem. (I work at a Lexus dealership)

[@ryanpatterson9526]

[@raadyusuf6763]

Do you like this one better or your GX?

[@TheTopher]

filming a video on that today! But the short answer is, all things considered, I prefer my GX

[@haloppll]

@@TheTopher why do u like better the gx?

[@RPGTKingpin]

@@haloppll Watch the video on it. He goes in depth. But being a GX owner myself, it's got a few things I personally find important that you don't get with the LX. It's very angular and doesn't waste any space, so it's exactly as spacious as you need, but not more, and its shape allows you to navigate it through tight locations very easily where an LX would struggle to pass because of its size and curves. The interior of the GX is simpler and more dated than the LX, but it is also no less comfortable, with ventilated leather seats, soft interior, and quality polished wood decorating the interior. If you don't need all the gadgets and features in the LX, the GX is certainly a good second pick. Plenty of features, but skips the things you might not really need to use regularly.

[@camarykaren]

Man all i ses with these new Lexus is that huge hideous grill. Damn. Always loved the interiors and the lights of Lexus.

[@cadenbrigstocke6043]

I know that on the RX Yamaha wood is used

[@murkage3]

[@rostamr4096]

Does it come with a HUD?

[@coolmanjones]

[@al3zmi]

I am thinking of this or Range rover voyage or Lincoln navigator (they are almost same price) I have test driven them and each one have something special in them, like Lincoln have cheaper maintenance cost compared the 2 SUV, lexus quality feels better than the 2, range rover drives so smooth than the 2...and I have a range rover 2013 maybe I want something different.. What's your suggestion guys?

[@RPGTKingpin]

That depends on how long you intend to keep it. The Lexus will last you 15-20 years easily. The Lincoln will start having problems in 5-7 years. Range Rover maybe less since they are now owned by the Indian company TATA.

[@TheROCKITEXPERIENCE]

Damn fanboy much? I love this Lexus but there are many things that are outdated about it, because it is an older platform, but there is nothing wrong with that it still is a great vehicle, but every vehicle has flaws and some more than others. Overall the Lexus is great but some flaws are that this Lexus can just add some newer stuff in the update. That being said it still is probably best in class because Lexus knows how to make a damn fine vehicle

[@speakingtruths4215]

Such a dilemma. Have 100k to spend on a new SUV but the Navigator is just too damn long for my taste, and this Lexus is just too dated. The transmission in this vehicle is downright awful.
