Lexus has added its bigger, more powerful 5.7L truck engine to its premium SUV, and as a result, the new LX 570 has a bigger price to go along with it. The upscale 'ute's base sticker grows by a knee-wobbling $6,405, starting at a rather monumental $73,800. For those scoring at home, that's about $18,000 more than the Cadillac Escalade (http://autos.aol.com/cars-Cadillac-Escalade-2008/overview), and within $3,000 of the top-end Mercedes GL550 (http://autos.aol.com/cars-Mercedes_Benz-GL_Class/overview). While the LX 570 surpasses the outgoing LX 470 in both power and luxury, a $73,800 price tag is a substantial pill to swallow, even in this admittedly pricey segment.
