As a guy who owns a Vette, Lambo, M4, GT-R, and a host of other cars....I totally get it. But to put the GX550 in category of an enthusiasts car isn't fair either. It's a NJ Mom's grocery getter. :)
If Lexus built it the way you want it... they'd lose money but have all but that little group of people that are so hung up on getting exactly what they want, how they want it and when they want it. This is why it's nice to have choices of other brands that are willing to make less profit to...
OK, been driving the RX for the week.... and IT IS NOT MY GX....but I will say, it's a hell of a car and I will say....the "almost" 700 miles per tank and 40MPG "ain't too shabby" either. :)
