So we got a new Lexus LX570
I am rubbing my hands together right now with an evil grin. Enough said.
Fast, comfortable, spacious and finally high-tech. Not bad at all. I think I got flashed by a radar for the 2nd time ever too, so I’m not in the mood to write anything more.
Update: Fine didn’t show up. I guess car in front of me got flashed.

yeah, this lexus puts the QX56 in shame

mash, are you going to add this with recommended cars ? and also please dont forget to get the top speed from the Owner’s manual 😉

The LX feels quick in daily driving, but it was disappointing in the acceleration run. It also seems to not be as quick as expected from a 5.7 when accelerating upwards from 100 kph.
sam
price for the fully loaded version?
cb
can it turn without falling over?
Zao
hey mash when i was goin through the reviews of american version from few int’l auto websites they dont find problem with the acceleration….it could be that the ME specs is having a different setup….once i remember my friend sayin that there is huge difference between the LS430 of US specs and ME specs….though they both have same 4.3ltr V8….
anyways mash be careful about the radars lol….after 24 points we wont be able to read reviews from you 😆
Zao
i heard we have to wait for 3mnths after bookin for the new LX570…is it true?

😆 😆 loooooool assassin…..dont get vry happy….

It won’t fall over. It will just fly off the edge of the road. At least no black points for speeding, it seems.
The GCC version has 21 hp less than the American one. The Americans also got good acceleration times with the possibly-lighter 5.7 Land Cruiser. Also, I think they have cooler weather. I mistakenly put 383 hp in the guide, because Lexus UAE’s press-releases say 383 hp, and their website says 362 hp, which I think is correct. I will fix that.
And yes, apparently there is a huge waiting list for the thing, starting even before launch.

hey Mash, i need your help. i’ve bought A 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 # 1 specs. ofcourse & the fuel consuption inside the city is killing me, i fill it with 95 AED & i barely make 400 Km with it & sometimes even less.
so my question for u is this the true cosuption for the car ? & what should i do ?
Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury
That’s pretty bad fuel economy. I hope your calculations are wrong. By the way, regarding your other question, look into any 1998+ BMW 540i and a 2003+ Lumina SS, if you are spending 40k.
thatsit(mohamad)
you got flashed…OMG…just i read this now….loooooooool
Mastershen: are you sure about this….man the car can do at least 560 KM…and in the High way i got 800KM from the computer of the car….really you should go and check this problem…
Mash what about the reduction in the 21 Hp of the lexus 😯 😯 … this is really strange.
Zao
we ME ppl always gets the worst lexus…..n americans gets the best…..even the new LS460 we get here doesnt have lots of options thats available in american specs or german specs….nowadays about 50% lexus LS430 taht u see on uae roads are american specs that has come through the 2ndhand market…..even the computer systems, the power, acceleration everything is different frm that of uae specs….lol i guess world car manufacturers considers ME ppl as some low class ppl or untouchables lol or maybe some fools from oil rich region who would spend money to buy anything available…..

Same story as the other Lexus models here. The Direct Injection feature is not added in the engines here, since that feature cannot work properly due to petrol with high sulphur content. I read somewhere else that UAE petrol is fine but Saudi has high sulphur. Since all GCC cars are the same, Lexus decided to put the lower-hp no-DI engines in GCC cars.
Bashar Dahdah
heh, it’s enough we don’t get the LS600 or the LS600h (hybrid…kinda), the 6.0l engine would be fun hehe
thatsit(mohamad)
man… its just lexus…its not BMW or mercedes….loooooooool
or even infiniti…at least those companies bring those cars without much difference(espically the power)…..i dont know…what is that technology that works in other companies oil, but not in the GCC.. 😆 😆
MasterShen
i’m with u about this highway thing cuz i got in mine more than 900 on the highway but i’m sure about the inside the city i barely make it over 400 by little & i’ve got this car since the new year & when i went for the 5000 km service they told me it would go for only 400 except for the highway 600 that’s all i’ve got from them.
MasterShen
about this used car thing ur right i could only find 2003+ Lumina ss & most of my friends suggested for the bmw 540 like u did.bcuz i’m going to leave need a car with lots of power for weekends if u know what i mean guyz 🙂
assassin
thatsit, what did you mean of saying ((its just lexus…its not BMW or mercedes….)).
please, just tell me what are the differences between them?
thatsit(mohamad)
the answer is so simple…….those cars are made by german fu**ers
loooooooooooool
assassin
there is a 2004 Nissan Z350 Manual for sale by 70k. and also i found a turbo kit for it costs 17k dhs, with 3 years warranty. the engine poewr will increase to 450 hp. which means it will have a GTR power. i think i will buy is soon but first i should finish my long-time bank loan.
thatsit, do you know anybody fixed his Z with Turbo, I want you ideas about it,
thatsit(mohamad)
actually…there are many modification companies that play with the Z a littile bit(no..alot actually )…you can watch many modified Zs on youtube… and the famous modification companies like K&N and others are offering special parts for this car…
now…if you did all what you want in the car…JUST PLEASE…WHEN YOU DESTROY IT, DONT COME AND SAY NISSAN IS SHIT AND IT CANT LIVE LIKE TOYOTA CARS…PLEASE… 😉
Saad Bashar
Z350? I think you meant 350Z, assassin.

Nice work on the review, Mash. Good read. Couple of mistakes I have to point out though. On the specifications summary you put the engine type as V6 and the 0-100 time of 7 seconds. the 7 seconds freaked me out 😛 Anyways, great work, keep it up
Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury
Good catch. On another note, the fine never showed up for my flashing incident. I guess the Altima I was chasing got flashed, and I managed to lightly press the brakes at the right time. Ahh, the joys of using someone else as radar bait.
thatsit(mohamad)
nice review mash…whats next???
Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury
The reviews are done one after another, so whatever cars are listed in “Behind The Scenes” will be reviewed in line.
