I forgot the red text guys.

I would hope Tyler has more style then that. Although, it does look like the ultimate penguin ride.

I wouldn't ditch the S2k for the RX, but the wife sure likes it.

That RX is completely I don't mind the NX so much, the design works on those, not so much here.
They'll sell tons though.

That fucking LX

I like the look of the new RX.. inside and out!
Although the first fucker here to buy one will be known to drive a big mouth bass.

I think he just wanted it that bad. You know Lexus doesn't allow us to sell over MSRP.

That's about the number we have at the moment.

It won't be able to properly use half of those buttons and switches without ripping that gaping maw off the front.

Crawl control and locking diffs on that thing is laughable. Don't need that to go to the mall.

This. Cars look better in person these days, but everyone has a degree in design anyway.

I'll agree with the tank part but it looks like predator fvcked jabba the hutt.

In any case, IMO the Toyota version is where it's at.



Looks like it can go anywhere...and can with legendary reliability.

My biggest issue with the LX/Land Cruiser is the track is too narrow. It's overly tall and not that wide. It doesn't appear safe for how most people use it.

I'm not sure where the center of gravity is but it feels like it's too high.
