New Car For Mom

My Mother decided to purchase a Diamond White Lexus LX470 after they sold her Escalade out from under her at the dealer, attached are pics from the Broker we got it from, so far It is very nice and almost Identical to our 2001 Land Cruiser we had before. She said she will not be missing her RX400H at all.

What about missing the fuel saving on the hybrid? But I guess that is the price to pay to drive a large SUV.

The Rear visability is horrid, the backup camera isn't very nice, she never really was wild about the looks and the icing on the cake was the 21.5 mpg combined fuel she got which was WAY less then promised

For a 5400 pound vehicle, that 4.7L 275hp V8 engine probably doesn't make it feel very quick...

Oh well, it's still a good decision overall. A Toyota or Lexus will last you much, much longer than a Chevrolet/GMC/Cadillac. Not only that, but that Lexus won't see its dealer even once beyond the regular maintenance.

are you serious about the Lexus Reverse Camera it has got to be the best in the market.

Infact all Jap stuff out performs any German crap in this kinda area.

Yes I know I have a X'5 but man of man they need to get their act into gear and sort out the sound systems and satnav.


Re that Lexus RX man it is ugly. just looks like the LC over here and they are a "lump of lard".

Tell your mom to buy a Mini and help save the planet.
