I've been reading this forum since Nov 2003, when we bought our '04 GX470. It kind of floors me that all I read here are the negative things about this car. Guess what?? You people are the minority of GX owners. Yes, I am sorry you're having problems with this car. It sucks to pay this much for a vehicle then have to deal with issues, especially when you have a difficult dealer to go through. We have almost 5000 miles on ours, and none of the problems reported here have surfaced. No thunks, vibrations, bad odors, electrical problems or faulty navigation system. The dealer has been awesome to work with, and we still get calls from our salesperson making sure everything is OK. In short, we love this car, which replaced '96 4Runner which was also loved. But man, what an upgrade!
Things we especially like:
- sound system
- navigation usability
- excellent snow/ice driving
- very safe car for our 1 year old to ride in
- incredible smooth ride...smoother than my Acura TL (no lie)
- good acceleration for a SUV, especially once we spring for the supercharger :D
C'mon, let's hear about things you love about this car! B)

PS - No I don't work for any dealership or Lexus, I'm just trying to see some positive posts here.
