    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.

    • The Heated Rivalry series has buried deep into my brain. The music causes feelings because I associate it with scenes in the show.  This playlist has been on repeat for basically 2 months.          
    • Just thinking ... ... the '70s, '80s, and '90s - when music had it all (great and complex instrumentals, good lyrics, catchy passages, and more) 
    • OUCH, but true, The U.S. is screwed due to Idiot47. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/trump-s-largest-deregulation-in-history-hands-china-70-of-ev-market-50k-american-jobs-already-gone/ss-AA1X7NJL?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W069&cvid=69a0e6ac384441f0a5c07d059feb83d2&ei=59  
    • About time Judges wake up and start blocking the vindictive illegal acts of Idiot47 and his Lemming Bondi. ‘Alarm is sounded’: Federal judge reverses course after realizing Bondi’s DOJ can't be trusted and blocks their latest vindictive move in Trump’s name
    • That is interesting to know, I have not found any online info from Toyota about the future of the Grand Highlander and the dealerships here have said it is going away, so will be interesting to see how Toyota address this. They also could be vague as they might want to see how many will flip to this as the 3 row SUV that folks are buying now. I will agree with you that this is nice looking and way better than past Toyota SUVs. I have been impressed with the specifications, but like you would like to see the inside, comfort and drive it to see how it responds compared to my EV9.
