USA Grenadier Experience (Texas Houston) 21-23 Feb

[Norb-TX]

I have the 2021 GX570 and you are not touching one under 120 now so

In the US the GX starts under $60K.

I don’t think a gx570 exists my friend

The poster was right but got confused on the badging. At one point there was a LX 570 that started at 90k here in the US. It was replaced this year with a LX600. The 570 was discontinued when the LAnd Cruiser was removed here in the states.

Those are both LX's.

US Lexus website shows a GX460 starting around $60K and LX600 starting around $90. Shame they're both ugly as sin.

Mate in what sense does this remotely resemble an LX?

I'm not talking about how it looks. I'm talking about how it drives. Smooth and quiet.

 

[LtColumbo]

@LtColumbo Was the lighter colored one MM or SW? Thanks for the photos!

The lighter one was white. I remember asking if it was Magic Mushroom and they said no. The MM one was out driving when I took the pics, but it is much closer to a desert sand than it is to a white. The configurator makes all of the colors looks several shades lighter than they actually are.

The GX is the LC Prado.

If you’re sick of waiting buy this IG. Immediate delivery. A hell of a mark-up on RRP, but it doesn’t look right somehow.. Cant put my finger on it though ??

In all seriousness, people moan about IG prices but the prices of these gin palace defenders is outrageous and people queue up to pay them. Bizarre

One thing I forgot to mention are the door handles. Are they straight out of the g-class? Love them.

They are part of the anti-theft system.
Anyone under 40 won't understand how they work

If they really want to make it impossible to steal the IG, a manual with a manual choke. Game over, the IG is going nowhere.

And a push button starter under the dash on the firewall (think LR Series)

Yes there are a lot of carjacking videos showing the thieves jumping in and then back out when they discover it is a manual.

Man, this just makes me feel bad that the the grenadier won't be offered with a manual transmission.

The manual holds gears so the only thing missing is a third pedal

 

[Norb-TX]

Maybe they'll see the 4wd knob and think it's a manual. New anti-theft device, a cover for the shift knob, so the only knob showing is for the 4WD.
