Hello all,
Been following this forum since last summer. At that time I jumped onto 6 dealer wait lists (one with a $500 refundable deposit). One of them finally came through about 3 weeks ago!
No luck having the dealer delete the roof rack (now removed and for sale) or the rock rails. All the other ā€˜optionsā€™ didnā€™t really bother me.
I replaced our ā€˜22 TRD Sport Sequoia with the GX. I originally intended to upgrade to the newer Sequoiaā€¦but Toyota fouled that plan up. The hybrid battery bump and the mandatory, non-removable 3rd row seating (unlike my earlier ā€˜92 LC) is ill-suited for packing cargo and gear.
I went for the GX for a long list of reasons.
I now have about 700 miles. Iā€™ve ā€˜maybeā€™ experienced the vibration issue; I have the minor hood flutter issue - which Iā€™ll fix later; I have a bit of the brake squeal while reversing out of the garage; and the wind noise at higher speeds which I will experiment with.
Really like the GX a lot. Everything I expected.
Happy New Yearā€™s to all!

How do you like the color up close? I've been leaning toward Atomic Silver, but finally saw a clean Incognito in person and it looked pretty darn nice!

I kinda wonder how all of the various non-metalic gray colors will age from a style perspective...
 
I like it a lot better than I thought. It was exceedingly difficult to tell with internet pics just what it looks likeā€¦itā€™s actually a bit darker than I thought; I was worried it might have a ā€œbleached battleshipā€ look, or might look like a bunch of other light grey colors from numerous manufacturers.
I had previously seen the Incognito, Caviar, Earth and Atomic Silver. I had decided on only the white, silver and incognito. The Sequoia I sold was the windchill pearlescent..and was gorgeous clean, but very bad in winter.
Keep in mind the other 2 colors are a metallic style. The Incognito isnā€™t. Not sure of the durability of one style vs. otherā€¦
..So I decided to get a full front-end, hood, A-pillars and leading edge of roof PPF done. The entire remaining car was done with a ceramic coating (supposedly with lifetime guarantee šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø)
I have noticed this color does hide the winter road wash well though.
Style-wise.. yes, a lot of people wondering about that. But again, Iā€™m noticing most flavors of this color approach are lighter, and/or have some strange tints to them. This Lexus incognito doesnā€™t IMO.
