have the infrastructure of, say, Dallas, Texas.
Most of what's said about the Cruiser also applies to the Lexus LX 450.
But there are a number of distinctions, including a substantial difference
in price. For example, the LX 450's suspension is tuned for a smoother
ride and it has specific wheels and tires.
In addition, the LX 450 includes many features as standard equipment
which are optional on the Cruiser, such as seven-passenger seating. And
there are some items standard on the Lexus which are simply not available
on the Cruiser: The LX 450 has LS 400-level leather, wood-grain interior
trim inserts, an exclusive 195-watt sound system, a couple of unique colors,
automatic climate control, cell phone pre-wiring, the Lexus multi-function
remote entry system, and an optional in-cabin six-disc CD changer.
Last, the Lexus has some specific exterior trim details, such as the
grille, headlamp design, body side cladding and color-keyed bumpers.

two vehicles are virtually identical. Next Page
