But for 100k that beast just isn’t up to snuff. It needs a third row that doesn’t have flip up seats. It has to have the newest of all technology. If it was a 50k vehicle , then no biggie. But 100k.

No. Was there any other car actually worth more than it? Not by a long shot. You can always upgrade the infotainment system later.

we have the lx570 for over a year now. i can tell you that i love it more and more each day. it is a wonderful suv and for the money, i believe it worth every penny! it has awesome 4x4 all wheels drive with suspension that is so freaking smooth. when the engine is on, you cant even hear it. the mark levinson stereo system sounds amazing, especially when you’re watch movies inside the car, it sounds like youre at your home theater! the ride is quiet and it equips with so many safety features. im sure other competitors offer similar or maybe in someways a little better but i really dont think the difference is that much greater. especially when it comes to reliability, this LX has been around for so long and has proven to be one of the most reliable suv. we are a younger couple and we have an amg. as much as we like the all the bells and whistles from merc, audi and all other fancy automakers but to be honest, we just ready to have something reliable and not going to break down on is like the new and constant changing of gadgets with little to no history. id rather have the odometer gauges than all the new fancy digital display. it will be a matter of time it something will be wrong with it. here are some of the reasons why we got the LX over the Escalade, Navigator, Land Rover: 4x4 (similar as the land rover) cost less for maintenance known for reliability (300k miles maybe less maybe more, still more promising than the rest!) resale value (most like will never sell!) i understand that Lx is no perfect suv but to me it is as perfect as it can get for what you’re paying for. (i have one and my neighbor in-front of me has one, both are black and fully loaded) Doug’s review to me was like a kid that just ask for candies but doesnt really understand they are no good for him.

Agreed on the suspension and MTS control dials, the top caps are ridiculously easy to scratch! I got mine as CPO with 17k miles and the caps look like they came from a war! And what's more ridiculous is when I asked dealer to replace the caps they couldn't buy them as a separate part! The only option is to replace the entire controls panel which costs $1500! To add the insult to the injury these caps are easily removed! Why Lexus can't make them as a separate part is beyond logic! Especially because nearly every one of them gets scratched so easily! Other than this one gripe and abysmal fuel economy LX570 is a vehicle in its own class and a true legend. I had to get a MY21 because this is the last year of V8 and I think it is the last LX that will last 30+ years.

I own a 2019 LX 570. No problems to speak of. Things to mention - Outdated infotainment. Adaptive cruise is a little jerky, not terrible. It should have more modern amenities for the money (more USB ports, wireless charging, massage seats). Feels a little dated after owning other new higher end vehicles, but overall quality is great. The climate concierge automatically controls seats and steering wheel, I think. The little mouse pad control thing for the infotainment is very easy to use now that I’ve had the vehicle a few months. There should be a way to see the traction per tire on the LX when slippage occurs. I’ve had and checked out new Mercedes. More modern, but not trucky like the LX. It’s a truck. And it’s very cool. The auto lowering feature is very cool for ladies or kids or folks with trouble getting into and out of the tall vehicle. I’m not sure why you’d use the paddle shifters in the LX. It’s a little sluggish, but has plenty of power when needed. Lexus customer service and warranty basically smashes every other brand (Lincoln, Mercedes, Range Rover). They’ve been perfect! I tested and considered Land Cruiser and other luxury vehicles when purchasing. LX 570 won out. With the extended warranties you cannot go wrong. Overall MPG is 15.8.

LOL, those comments are great. "Audi/Mercedes has better user interface"... "Navigator has better fuel econmy"... blah blah. In the end, there are only two things that matter: 1) automobile failure/repair rate per no. of units (or take a look at technical service bulletins at any given time), and 2) RESALE VALUE. And of course, Lexus dominates these categories. All of that "better" stuff that the competition offers doesn't really matter, if it breaks on or before 60k miles. Unless you're leasing, I suppose.

Why I don't agree completely with Doug, he hit the nail on the head in many key areas. The infotainment is outdated, the gauge cluster is garbage for a 90k+ luxury car/truck , the LX offers none of the modern creature comforts expected at the $95k price point and the new Lincoln Navigator and BMW 7 Series and even the recently updated G class are proof of that. I love Lexus more than anyone, but you'll need to stop acting like they are at the forefront of automotive evolution, they are so behind the competition in some areas its not even funny anymore. The LX and the GS and GX are "ALL" terribly outdated, but Lexus commands the same high end price tag for 8 year old technology, Yes Lexus is one of the most reliable brands, but in a day were most people lease there Premium sedans you have to sell more then reliability to the younger generation, we wont industry leading tech, high end sustainable material choices, large displays and a car that integrate with our smartphones. I am sorry but I thought he was spot on and with 3 MILLION plus viewers, I am sure someone from Lexus saw his review and I hope they take note that Doug isn't the only one that feels that way. Like it or not 3 million people watching that video I am sure at least a 300 people that were considering the LX just changed there minds, and went with the competition.

@Skittles Candy Well that's good for you and what you want. The majority of millennials could care less about claims of reliability you wont be able to see until after at least 5 or more years hence why with horrible reliability Mercedes and BMW still outsell Lexus year after year, you cant sell outdated cars and just factor in its reliability you see what happened to the GS right, no one cars how reliable it is we want modern vehicles that compete with other premium brands in all aspects. Over 70% of premium brand vehicles are leased reliability is nice but let the second owner worry about that I could care less, its just so funny ready these comments and the excuses you'll make for this company. Oh yeah and this is from an Sr. IT Manager and 4x Lexus owner.

@Skittles Candy No offense taken I currently own a 2017 GS its my second one , in less than 5 years I definetley enjoy the car. But even with horrible resale value Mercedes and BMW still outsell Lexus. Consumers want innovation along with technology, and Lexus are aiming for buyers my age hence the Fsport appearance package being introduced on all models and the investment in the F line series of there cars. Generation Y and X mellennials want tech, you can sell reliability to my father and grandfather. If your not hitting the core with the market you are aiming for you dot sell cars RC , LC GS, and LS all had sales declines first quarter 2019, take a look at German sales for the same period. But I always love hearing different opinions , doesn't make me wrong and you right just health dialogue. Bottom line Doug isnt the only one that feels that way and if they want to remain competitive there going to have to sell more to the buying public than reliability.

The LX has very practical technology that is not overly complicated compared to most newer rivals. Most customers at our dealership buy the LX for its size and off roading capabilities rather than the tech. However it does need a few updates such as Apple car play and Lexus safety system 2.0. I hope for the 2020 model coming out soon that it will have the gen11 software or touch screen that will be out soon for the 2020 RX models. Great video by the way, always learn something new about the vehicles whenever I watch your videos.

Demuro is HIGHLY overrated, his reviews are biased and the "doug score" is so arbitrary it offers NO value to anyone, EXCEPT doug. HIs ignorant bias is on full display during this review as he opines: "It's amazing how much this thing neutralizes the bumps, in my Mercedes, it hurts (driving over the lane lines)"... which begs the question...Why did he buy it? HIS idea of "luxury" is a SPORTS CAR that rides like a go-cart. Why can't LUXURY cars and trucks DRIVE LIKE LUXURY CARS AND TRUCKS without this type of stupid commentary? ALL THAT SAID... he's not wrong about the LX570 being WOEFULLY outdated. The engine and transmission combination ALONE result in HORRIBLE gas mileage in this class when compared to a Chevy Tahoe. It's clear WHERE the industry is going, which will include electronic gauge packages, impressive infotainment systems, updated styling and modern interiors. Obviously, consumers are willing to pay big money for these vehicles, if Lexus were to combine THEIR record for reliability and customer service with the interior & exterior design of the BMW X7, they would outsell the Escalade and become the NEW king of bling.

Coming from someone who has owned a 2016 LX570 and a fan of all Land Cruisers, Doug is 100% right. People only buy the LX for a few reasons not because it is a better car than its rivals.

With all the pros and cons - the LX still does need an update or else - reduce the price, as a great, yet outdated model should cost. Toyota should stop fooling people and earning huge money on its reputation, without investing/spending into upgrading this top of the line model.

Doug is an idiot. He came into the nissan dealer I work at years ago with a Japan version Gtr. He then made a video of his experience at the dealer when we didn’t get all excited over his car. I guess he didn’t realize he kept a writer busy for far too long when he came in with a car that does not have a valid vin number we can enter into our system. Also we did check out his car in the shop but not out on the lot where it is unprofessional for 10 technicians to check out his vehicle. He tore his lower splash shield off and then expected us to have parts in stock to make repairs on a car that was never sold in this country. Just because he can make a you tube video does not make him some sort of automotive expert. We as a group at the dealer did have a laugh because we thought it was funny how somebody that promotes themselves as a car enthusiast knows nothing about how the repair process is done.

By your logic Lexus should sell a 1995 LX in 2024 for $100,000 because it’s simple and it has nothing that breaks, and everything Doug complained about you were like “a $30,000 Lexus has a better one” he reviewed the LX he didn’t review the whole Lexus lineup

I agree with your assessment. I’ve watched Doug for years…..MANY Video’s. That video seemed like he flew through the review and didn’t take the time with the lx. I honestly can’t believe the Range Rover and “Any” Toyota product is mentioned in the same sentence. (Rover is a nightmare Pile) As far as mpg……the customer getting a Toyota is not necessarily looking for mpg……it’s ALL “Reliability, Reliability, Reliability”. That’s it. Good video……good response. Appreciate the video.

His videos are disappointing... let’s face it, Doug is a European car brand fanboy. How about his childish score in the end?

Hmmm...based on which comments you liked, it seems like this video is purely reactionary to Doug. Judging from a quick look at your channel, you’re clearly a Toyota fan. So...in the end, it really just looks like your bias vs. his. That being said, while I like Doug, I take what he says with a grain of salt. Obviously, just like you or anyone else, he has his biases and he misses details. I give you credit for being relatively fair, but you know that if he hated on another vehicle, he’d have someone like you who knows more about that brand ready to dedicate videos to rebutting that.

Except that Kirk ISN'T biased. He's actually a Lexus employee who is extremely knowledgeable of the brand. I know you only "judged from a quick look at his channel", but if you watch more than 5 seconds worth of his content, you'd see that he has plenty of spots during his reviews where he is critical of many aspects of their products. He doesn't just go around saying everything they do is great. That said, as Kirk points out in this video, it's clear that Doug IS biased: to the performance aspect of these vehicles only. Know how I know? Cause at 23:29 of Doug's video he says the most inane quote I've ever heard: "the only benefits here are Lexus customer service, resale value, reliability." OOOOOHHH....I'm sorry...is that all? It's pretty clear that that stuff, for which Lexus is known for being tops in the industry on, is not important to him. So yeah., I'll trust Kirk's opinion over Doug's, at least on this car.

How can a car with electronic seat adjustment be better than one without? That's like adding an extra step to a process - you lose time. Yeah you can save time, but you wouldn't need to save time if you didn't move the seat. For that matter how many times a year do you move the seat? 12 times? I move the seat of my prius about 4 times a month but only because i vacuum every week. Also what's with having a dash and a HUD? Honda got it right with the Prelude once they put in the "space ship dash", everyone loved the s2000 with the same style dash, apart from missing some critical gauges(temps and 12v status) i love the gen 2 prius dash. The MX5 still has a hand operated soft top and it's one of the coolest vehicles on the road for that and other "stupid" mechanisms. We live in a time of smart phones, smart tvs, smart cars and stupid people.

Lexus is a compromise vehicle. If money no object, everyone buys a Range Rover. If money is not a factor than you can really break down each category and see what car is better. The Range Rover wins. Just because the Lexus is a better used car does not mean it's a better car.

My family has owned Toyotas for 50 years. He's not wrong. For being over 85k it's a big disappointment. It's has the quality of a 60k price point. I had to roll my eyes on your LC vs LX. Toyota hates spending money. Mechanically they are very close to identical, with the exception of the Adjustable suspension. Brakes are identical. LC has history. LX is a soccer mom mobile. Also the Akio Toyoda years are nowhere the quality of the Eiji Toyoda years. Toyota is riding on Eiji years reputation. Akio years are cost cutting, recalls, and outsourcing. If you are a Toyota long time owner, new Lexus and Toyotas are disappointments. Everyone has caught up, and the Koreans quality wise has matched Lexus. I've owned my 1989 LC for 30 years. It's semi retired now but I love the Eiji Toyoda years quality. I love the Feel. Sound. Tons of character. Still turns heads to this Day. The new one does everything better, faster, better gas mileage, but is soulless. There's nothing desirable in the Lexus/Toyota line up. You can spend 100k on one and still not get Android Auto. Well, in truth, Perhaps if they built a manual transmission 4 Runner, I would buy it despite the flaws. It's good sized, and has some character. It reminds me of my 1993 Toyota Manual V6 truck I use to own long ago.
