Hey ADTGUY, sorry we kinda hijacked your thread. However, it has a been an educational discussion and I believe at the end of the day thats what these forums are intended to be.
GR8Santini, I agree. All companies must know who their target customers are and evolve their products to meet their needs. However, I think the Premium and Premium (+) could have retained the softer luxury ride for that group of buyers and the Overtrail and OT (+) targeted to the younger or...
Thanks for sharing your concerns rapture ready. If Lexus wanted to move away from luxury on the GX and target the more rugged outdoor sector so be it. However, the Lexus badge has always come with the expectation of a high level of quality and service. For the most part they have always...

When I first saw the GX550 about 8 months ago I was really impressed with the look and the styling. I test drove one for about 15 minutes on city streets and I was impressed with the power and acceleration. I did have a bit of a rough ride but I currently drive a 2021 Tundra 4x4 OffRoad so by...
