I have always had a soft spot for Lexus’ more luxurious offerings owing to their blend of solid build quality, laid-back road manners and opulent presentation. So expectations were high when I recently got behind the wheel of the freshly updated LX 600 F-Sport and NX 350h EX for a drive around the Cape Winelands.
Handsome as it
