    So the powertrain that is standard in a Toyota Sequoia is optional in the Lexus.  And this powertrain isn't really the hallmark of reliability that Lexus and Toyota had with the old powertrains.

    The interior on the LX seems to be behind what you get in the X7, GLS or Escalade, and I think the LX is newer than all those, and with the 10-12 year refresh rate these seem to get, you wonder how dated the interior will look in 2033 when they are selling the same interior as in the photo.  It looks dated now.

      There is a really good book by Len Deighton called Violent Ward, where LA goes completely to ship (t) and things fall apart. Was a good read a couple of decades ago when I read it.  Twenty years ago, this forum was well populated and relevant. Now its a pathetic shadow of its former self. Being here is like watching the final collapse of LA in that novel. I feel bad for Drew, who owns the site and is a good guy.  But the site mirrors the domestic auto industry and the country that holds that domestic auto industry, all three are going to collapse into irrelevancy.  We need a book with Olds on a Horse with Windmills. Don Quixote was another good read, but it takes an 8th grade literacy level which most Americans seem to actually lack. I work in a university and a surprising number of incoming Freshmen are almost functionally illiterate.  Would love to live in a world where cars like a 70 442 were still relevant, or where we had interesting, profitable American EV's. I do like the lightening and a few of the hummers.  But in this world, the 442 is following other American muscle cars, the American auto industry, the country, and this site into oblivion.  Feel free to request meds. I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but god damn, the windmills thing son....and I don't mean modern renewables...Don...don Quixote... America needs a divorce, where sane places like Washington, Oregon and Northern California can form a country called Cascadia and other states can descend into 1820 socially, politically, and religiously, and then 1620. When were the witches hung in Salem, Mass again?  Its going to become an irrelevant third world fascist state. give it thirty years, or weeks, or minutes, god only knows how long.

      There is nothing to do. Listen to Richard Wolf, the collapse is inevitable at this point. America is incapable of governing itself, and thus the economic collapse will keep America from causing negative consequences around the world.  Given the Belt and Road initiative and other positive things on the BRICKS side, a Chinese century is preferable to an American century at this point.  The 21st century should be the Chinese century, and Canada is doing the rational thing getting rid of tariffs on Chinese EV's as the domestic automakers are destined to fail and disappear. Better Canadians don't own vehicles that are obsolete that they can't get parts for.

      Feel free to add your opinions on Canada lifting the tariff on Chinese EVs. You too, could tell me, since I want Chinese EVs to enter Canada how Chinese EVs suck. Feel free to change your avatar to one that says Canada = 51st...

      Yup.  And this would be PART of my anger. As I also see no phoquing end to it.  This is MY frustration as well.  I LOVE the US.  It may not look like it now, but I am DEEPLY hurt by YOUR countrymen.  Because I see no end to it I am LASHING out loudly.  Its mostly about cars anyway... Canada is just about to decide on what will happen to Chinese EVs and the tariffs Canada has on them.  China will then lift the canola oil tariffs and then new trade talks will begin starting a whole other trade war between the US and the world... Its all related... The gun safety stuff? Well...that is not politics.  That is just news.

      Random thought:   Talking politics non-stop on an auto enthusiast site is like talking autos non-stop on a political enthusiast site.
