    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.

      Rare Earth material is used in modern technology. Seems we need an informed administration that understands how to negotiate with others as the US is behind the 8 ball it seems. To move to a cheaper EV product line, auto companies are going to have to develop their resources for importing raw material and processing it here. Or focus on a proper global supply chain if we can get over empire building. Map Shows World's 10 Largest Rare Earth Element Reserves - Newsweek

      Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Silverado EV ZR2 off-road race concept tackles the Mint 400

      By ccap41 · Posted

      As awesome of an overall package the Silverado EV is, I just can't get on board with the aesthetics. It just does nothing for me. I love what it is and the performance it achieves, both in sportiness and efficiency, but it looks so... sucky... It's all in the front end for me.  The Sierra looks quite a bit better though, to me, so there is that.

      Cadillac News: 2026 Escalade IQL Electric Sibling to the Escalade ESV

      By ccap41 · Posted

      I understand that but take a tape measure and pull it out 58", there is no way your shoulders are 58" across.  You're probably thinking of your overarm measurement, which is a circumference measurement around your shoulders, not a left to right measurement. Which, at 58 inches, at least that's a real size. It could also be your chest size, but that's also a circumference measurement. Either way, you are not 5 feet wide. Just think about how wide that is for a second and it'll make more sense.  Just for some perspective, if you and a twin sat next to each other in a vehicle, the vehicle would need to be TEN feet wide.  Your EV9 is 78 inches across on the outside, and 62 inches of shoulder room in the front seats. I'm sure your wife has more than 4 inches of space with you in the driver's seat.

      Cadillac News: 2026 Escalade IQL Electric Sibling to the Escalade ESV

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      When I go to big n tall store, they measure my shoulder to shoulder with the measuring tape it comes out 58 for the size coat I have to wear.  I could be misunderstanding, but I thought the way they measure a person for shoulder width in the clothing industry was used by the auto industry in how they refer to shoulder width in an auto. True, I can sit in all 6 seats in my EV9 comfy. Yet the difference is that behind the third seat in the EV9 is a small cargo space, much like a regular Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe has a small cargo space. Once you go to the full-size Suburban, Yukon XL or Escalade ESV. You gain the room needed for suite cases or other cargo that would normally go for a full family if on a road trip or going to the airport. Escalade IQL I see being used by chauffer / private car services as well as big families that need cargo space on top of people hauling space.
