All new for 2008, the Lexus LX 570 replaces the LX 470 in the automaker's lineup and offers a more powerful engine as well as improved off-road capabilities.

Other Choices:

Even though the 2008 Lexus LX 570 is heavily based on the Toyota Land Cruiser--which costs $10,000 less--LX 570 buyers are far less likely to actually take their vehicles off-road. But it's there when you need it--more so than for the Mercedes GL-Class and Cadillac Escalade.

Inside, however, the LX 570 runs with the best, bearing plenty of attractive, plush materials and standout features. The QX56, which is soon to be discontinued, is a little more trucklike and doesn't have the refinement of the others. For towing, the LX remains one of the top choices, with its tremendously torquey engine, good highway stability, and tow rating of up to 8,500 pounds. For those who can't stomach the LX 570's gas-guzzling ways, there's also the diesel Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI, which gets an impressive (for the class) 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway.
