lol i think numb or not you should still feel the difference because it's such a Far Superior ride. So does that mean my ears were numb too? Never sat in RR so i cant tell you. i dont ASSUME anything like you do. you gota come back with a better reason then that. And if i want to purchase a RR i would be in back seat and have you as my chauffeur so you be previlege to sit in one. And for the last time im buying this vehicle regardless what u guys say cause SOME of you are brainwashed and/or have no common sense. If i just want a PLAIN suv or save $50k i would buy another limited. Im NOT here to save $50k...if i didnt want to spend this kind of money i wouldnt be in this forum...duh! But yes status is still the main reason...so let that be. To answer one post about FEATURES yes Lexus put in high tech stuff but thats all that is STUFF you can always add on . Same reason why i see post of MOD LExus? You guys are gona change headlights, wheels..this and that anyway. I think Lexus got u reading all these post to brainwash you. here is my 2 cents jon your brain is numb. read my original post.

Ok you guys keep telling me the GX "RIDES FAR SUPERIOR" then a 4runner but you cant tell me how? How is it so superior????? Tell me your GX doesnt have a bumpy ride, tell me that your GX doesnt have wind noise, tell me that your GX is a gas saver...... How SUPERIOR is it if it still have these things LIKE THE REST OF THE SUV. You guys been brainwashed by the reviews and cant get a feel for your own self. Furthermore since you say you own 2 4runners are you crossed eye driving the 4runner or loose ur teeth on the dash board???? Be for real... i think it is because of the navigation system or Lev system you are referring to... Those folks are called OPTIONS! It only beefs up the car looks not performance. Here is why i say the GX DRIVES like my 4runner because i drove the 4runner 2 hrs to the Lexus dealership and step into the GX i should be able to feel more comfortable with the ride correct??? if in fact my 4runner is so inferior? or in your words GX RIDES FAR SUPERIOR.... Look folks i only call what i see and feel not a bunch of overrated copied opinions i read somewhere off the net....FAR SUPERIOR...ha ...pfft! Now if you think the Lexus was so SUPERIOR to 4 runner why in the world would you buy (2) 4runner and on top of that a Landcruiser when you could have bought one "Lexus has the #1 rating for # of problems per car sold and the ride and quality were very high! I did not purchase it because of status"....hmmm kinda make you wonder. Im not here to defend the 4runner nor am i here to put down the GX. My main and 1st post says that i was DISAPPOINTED IN THE GX BECAUSE IT RIDES LIKE MY 4RUNNER. And yes Lexus is a status symbol in addition to the sleek sporty look and the neat options that is installed in it (read my post folks before u condemn me) . if it wasnt, i would buy (2) 4runner limited and a Landcruiser...lol but thanks anyway for ur 2 cents.

Wow you must have a big garage to store all those vehicle in. Otherwise it sounds kinda funny when you go thru 1 lexus a year for you to worry about "common sense or a strain on your limited budget ". Hope you didnt post this because you work for them. Secondly where you get this idea "Now I hope you appreciate the fact that the GX is far superior to the 4Runner. The ride control alone is worth the extra money to keep your teeth in your head and not becoming cross eyed by the rough ride of the 4Runner." your common sense told you this??? 'cause that would explain it. 1st of all , Lexus is a division of Toyota, not the other way around...so it cant be FAR SUPERIOR then a 4runner. My previous post said GX rides like my 4runner...i still feel bumps and wind noise...so the question arise there was if GX so FAR SUPERIOR why didnt they make GX smoother quieter ride but rather lean upon the fact that it is a "truck" it suppose to ride like a "truck"??? SO WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE??? My limited 4runner rides like a truck? so that mean it is a lexus??? is that justification??? Im not going to comment the second part of that paragraph because then i think it will become personal...lol. Anyway thanks for your comment for whats it's worth...2cents! As to why i still make this purchase because of the same reason STATUS. isnt that what Lexus stands for???

My point was not that it should ride like a sedan, but at least it should have a better ride then that. I know how it feels to be in a SUV, i own an 8 yr old limited 4runner (with no problems yet at 98+k miles and still kicking). I just expect a little bit more from Lexus thats all...hence the disappointment. I always picture Lexus stands above all other auto manufacturers and its product line are high quality products so it is justifiable for them to put a HIGH price tag on their vehicles. But this is not justifiable. The GX doesnt live up to the Lexus name. The only thing i like about it is the sporty look , and Navigation system and Lev entertainment system. I can understand and relate to most of GX owners is that Lexus install these highly sophisticated equipment and options to smoke screen the main points and to justify the high price tag. Like i said before i will still make the purchase because i can live with the bumpy ride im used to that... which brings up a question anyone purchasing one at this time since its like year end thing? The dealer gave me a quote of $51k for GX with nav, customed 9 inch screen dvd rear entertainment system, no KDSS. What price range should i be looking at?

Hello everyone, 1st time looking to own a lexus. I was kinda disappointed when i test drive the lexus gx470 today. Guess from all the post and reviews i've been reading, i expected little bit more then what it actually was. The Gx has a great sleek design looks better then the LX imo. I never did like the way the LX looked, kinda box looking and blends in with the landcruiser. The GX was pretty much the same as far as handling and ride comfort as my Limited 4runner. I expected the GX to have a smoother quiet ride for the amount of money im paying. I still feel the bumps on the road and wind noise from the windows . I even test drive one with KDSS and there were NO difference...extra $4k for nothing. I was told the difference would be for like offroad terrains...but i wont be doing much of that here. To sum it up I will still make this ILLOGICAL purchase because all im paying for is the brand name other than that there are plenty of SUV who have the same ride comfort for much less cost.
