Road Beat: 2021 Lexus LX 570 review - bold, brash, and lovable
Submitted by paula on Mon, 05/31/2021 - 8:26pm
It's 2021 and relics like the Lexus LX 570 have no business existing. By modern standards it's a terrible vehicle by all accounts, being too large, heavy, and woefully inefficient. Perhaps it should have been put to pasture even a decade ago as the aging brute continues to ignore all self-respect. However, I love the LX 570. Despite all circumstances, the LX is a derelict instrument that is impossible to not adore and serves as a reminder of what component is so sorely lacking in numerous other new vehicles: character.
