If you’re of a particular type of customer who needs the ultimate in Japanese luxury and off-road capability, you’re essentially stuck with just one option: the . Not only is it the only option for a buyer in the U.S. of the kind of vehicle I just described, it’s also the only way to get a Land Cruiser in the U.S. though .

This generation of LX was . While the huge “Predator” grille had been a part of the LX since its 2015 refresh, it was carried over and updated for ‘21. The biggest change though was the loss of the V8 engine, something the LX has had since the late 1990s. Power for the LX — now called LX600 — comes from the same twin-turbo V6 found in the Toyota / and however in the LX it doesn’t receive hybrid tech. It makes 405 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. That gets paired to a full-time four-wheel drive system and a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Of course with this essentially being a luxury-laden Land Cruiser all the capability is there, with features like an adaptive variable suspension and six-mode Multi Terrain Select System. But this specific LX is more luxo cruiser than jungle-traversing, trail-attacking SUV.

This LX600 is the ultra-luxury trim. With a $132,630 MSRP, it comes with seating for four in diamond-stitched leather, four-zone climate control, chilled center armrest, and, best of all, dual reclining and massaging captains chairs, the right of which fully reclines and turns into an ottoman. With a price tag that makes it the most expensive Lexus on sale and with some of the most luxurious features you’ll encounter at the luxury brand, what do you want to know about the Lexus LX?

2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4, Part Two
Though not quite designed for the city, the SRT4's looks are architectural. Instead of taking the truck-like exterior of the Caliber RT and making it appear sporting, Dodge's design team has embraced what they were stuck with and given the vehicle a unique, rough, look that isn't completely unlikable. The...

2007 Audi A6 3.2L, Part Three
Buy this car if you want a large luxury sedan with impeccable fit and finish, cool toys and one of the smoothest powertrains you'll ever have the pleasure of piloting. When you order one, be very careful picking your color and wheels. There's a tan A6 with the base model...

Is it kismet? I suspect so, as over a few short weeks, a couple of themes have begun to emerge in our Jalopnik Reviews. First, Hardigree gets his hands on a and loses a tire. Not two weeks later, I voyage to sublime Laguna Beach, and then to Catalina Island...

The 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI isn't what you'd call traditionally handsome. But with the wildly flared arches, huge hood scoop and restrained rear wing, it caries an air of purposeful muscularity. We prefer it to the old version, but would order ours in either black or white. Red does...

I drove the backwards. Not in the reverse gear sense, but leaving Palm Springs it's only a very short climb up a straight, steep highway before you get to the kind of roads we car guys can usually only dream about. As state route 74 climbs up to Pinyon Crest,...

You'd never be caught dead in a foreign car but you're still drawn to the versatility of a hatchback. Your friends all drive Preludes with ridiculous body kits and faux carbon fiber hoods and you want to give them something to think about at stop lights. You're Mopar through and...
