The official debut ad along with some words and a neat surprise at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXj2ISnZnsU

I've been waiting on this debut much like the Tundra. We all knew it was coming and would be based off the new LC300 and share the engine with it and the Tundra.

Overall it looks like a great improvement over the current generation. As much as I love my 2019 it is a bit dated. Happy to ride it out for a few years while watching how this new one performs.

omg that grille jesus fucking god damn christ

I'd take outdated over that! DansGame

(to each their own of course)

[Spoon]

At least they tried to blend the front grille on to the car instead of making it stand out like a Bane mask. IMO, it's an improvement compared to most Lexus in recent years.

[JDMDreams]

I like it, I wonder if they will make a hybrid

[68style]

I don't even like SUV's... let alone giant ones... and I hate the grill on, say, the newest RX line..... but this looks pretty sweet.

[!Aznboi128]

The outgoing model and the new one looks pretty similar if we're looking at the grille.

It kind of has current gen 4Runner/Rav4 vibes with those wheel wells. Yea, the current grills are not my favorite Lexus choice so this is definitely an improvement, even though it's still gargantuan. I miss the simplicity of the 2007-2015 front end but it does start to look dated now in comparison.

[SkinnyPupp]

I see what you mean when you use "outdated" rather than "classic" or whatever. Sometimes an old car can look old, but not be "outdated". In this case, the huge ugly chrome part surrounding the huge ugly grill and front vents definitely looks outdated and downright silly. And the 'check mark' under the headlights look atrocious. But the new look with the cartoonish wheel wells that makes it looks like a giant Hot Wheels will also look outdated in a few years.

But for a lot of people, they will simply drive it for 4 years and when it looks outdated, move onto the next trendy car, and that's fine.

[Vege]

That front grill looks like my Weber BBQ.

actually it's top of the list for longest ownership

i like how subaru always brag like 95% of their vehicles are still on the road when they never make these lists KEKW

Yeah 4 years was a random number I picked, looks more like 8.. But same point pretty much

[68style]

Well I mean... you gotta keep it longer... if you pay an eye watering $135,000 Canadian out the door for it with no options and it's only worth $80,000 4 years later... it's hard to justify that you just lost $55,000 in 4 years of ownership... gotta keep it for 10+ to spread the depreciation out.

And that's with a LEXUS imagine a brand that doesn't hold value as well lol...

[JDMDreams]

I'm surprised the TT made it to 10 years of ownership:ahwow:

Lmao.

My dad still has his 95 avalon that he refuses to sell.

[lilaznviper]

[DavidNguyen]

Isis loves Toyota's

Now you have to ask, is that by choice, or because nobody wants to buy it from them?

[Teriyaki]

Think its one of those cars that kind of have a cult-like following. Just a guess

[StylinRed]

What are your guys thoughts on this vs the 22 range rover?

I know lexus quality, and I never liked RangeRovers but the new one is kind of singing to me, especially the Hybrid

[Hondaracer]

I want to like it..but it’s just not working for me

[donk.]

Isis loves Toyota's

There sure are alotta toyotas in america

one's a lease throwaway, the other you can keep for a while with decent resale

[white rocket]

^^^THIS!! Enjoy the warranty and newness then toss the keys back. Enjoy a lower cost of ownership outside of the warranty period, and better aging fit and finish in my opinion, with the Lexus. New for new, almost any Euro vehicle has more appeal compared to peasant Toyota, but I find that they don't age well. I'm generalizing but on average it costs less to own a Japanese product compared to anything European when they become 5 years old and then 10+ and then 20+. The dice roll gets riskier with age.

[StylinRed]

Aye I was just hoping maybe the quality of rovers have changed over the years since I hadn't given em a look for... a decade at least

I'm so jaded on Land Rover (and Jag) that they could build the perfect vehicle and I'd still trash the shit out of it. I can't say I've had one single positive experience with either brand, but we're talking late 90's to about 2015 model years mostly. They could have level'd up since then but I'm not too sure.

[StylinRed]

Yeah I ended up googling some and it sounds like they're still horrible when it comes to reliability

But the new ceo says his goal is tackling that issue... slowly :lol

Maybe the new range will be better, but sounds like it'll be quite some time yet before I'd look at them

It's a shame cuz the 2022 looks gorgeous imo especially with the paint options and interior

The Fsport LX looks pretty good too

[bcrdukes]

I don't think Range Rover will ever be reliable, at least not in our lifetime.

There's a guy I work with who keeps getting a new one every few years on a lease, and it's the biggest piece of shit ever spending more time in the shop than on the road. But fan boys will be fan boys because in his mind, there's nothing wrong with it and believes it's part of the experience like when his car wouldn't start in campus parking lot and I had to drive his sorry ass home just last Thursday. To my shock (and horror if you will) his wife has a LX470 with 575,000km on the odometer.

[Eff-1]

There was a research study that came out a few years ago I thought was interesting.

From what I remember, it listed the top automotive brands based on brand loyalty.

Then it compared that study to the top automotive brands based on reliabilty.

RR was highest for brand loyalty. For reliability, RR was near the bottom.

So basically, customers love RR's the most even though they are the one of the least reliable.

:lol

:lawl::lawl::lawl::lawl::lawl: but his wife's a legend!!

Our 2019 is like $150 to fill, takes premium(recommended but debatable), and gets a whopping 400kms to a tank. It's so brutal it's comical. Heading to the Kootaney's tomorrow for 5 days; interested to see how the mpg's improve on the highway.
