Testing the new Lexus LX 600 on and off-road in Lone Pine. Let's address the elephant right away: this isn’t a cheap vehicle. At a towering $107,585 asking price as-tested, it costs as much as four years of university for your kid. Shoot, you could put two kids through for that much! But boy oh boy is this an amazing machine. I've always had a soft spot for the outgoing LX 570 for its nostalgic and indulgent charms despite being a bit of a homo robustus, but the new edition makes a case for itself on pure all-use merit.
