The day is not slowing down in the automotive news world. Lexus just announced it will debut a new LX 570 luxury SUV at the upcoming New York Auto Show. The third-generation LX will feature a new V-8 engine, presumably borrowed from the redesigned Tundra. In the Tundra, the 5.7-liter V-8 puts out 381 hp and 401 pounds-feet of torque while getting 14/18 mpg city/highway when equipped with four-wheel drive. There’s no doubt this model has been in development for some time, but does the industry need another large, truck-based SUV, luxury or otherwise?
We’ll find out in April.
