Got a chance to see the TX in person. There's one in Newport Beach Fashion Island mall. Looks are understated which I'm very fine with. Love the interior space. Can't wait for the TX 550h+, however the TX 550h+ will only be a 6 seater and not a 7 seater which is a bummer. The D pillar doesn't look as bad in person compared to photos. Thinking of putting a deposit for the TX 550h+ (406hp, 33mpg's) in the very near future...
 

I attended the LA autoshow this past Sunday, November 27th which was the last day and got a chance to see the Ioniq 6 in person.  The rear quarter definitely reminds me of the old Infiniti J30 that had a saggy rear end.  Sitting in the rear seats there is plenty of leg room.  The floor is raised because the battery is underneath the floor.  Interior such as the door panels, dash, seats, center console, carpet, etc. are made with sustainable materials.  However I would never purchase a soulless BEV.  I do have a couple of hybrids which have a soul (gas engines) and are used primarily for commuting.

As a matter of fact I have put down a $1K deposit on a 2023 Grecian Water blue IS 500 FSP.  Gotta support the NA V8 and keep one as a collection since it's going away (I hate that it is due to certain state government mandates banning gasoline engines, CAFE rules, etc.).

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!!!  It's going by very fast.  Will be going to the L.A. Autoshow this Sunday, November 27th which is the last day.  Been so busy and this is the first time going on the last day.  I usually go the first or second day.

I agree with RX400h regarding the Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires.  Those tires have a long warranty and is a great all around tire including light snow.  I have the Cross Climate 2 tires on my HS 250h and love them.

I also have my ATF changed every 60K/70K miles as well.  I also have my coolant changed every 100K miles.  I do all my oil and oil filter changes using Castrol Edge 0W-20 and OEM oil filters.

I have a 2010 HS 250h and my MPG's can get as low as 28mpg and if it's mostly freeway driving I can get 41 mpgs.

The RX line is very successful, and the 5th generation is coming very soon (end of 2022). The V6 engine and 3 row will go away sadly however we'll get a few hybrid versions, I4 turbo and a plug-in hybrid as well.

Congratulations and nice looking CT 200h.  Hopefully you still have your CT as it's been 5 years and it's a MY (model year) '14.

I still have my 2011 CT 200h which has over 328K miles and my step daughter drives it currently.

I have the Michelin CrossClimate2 (225/45R18) and is a very good tire.  Lasts very long and has a 6 year /60K mile warranty.

Curious if you were able to solve your slow tire leak issue.  If you have chrome rims the chrome plating can come loose and let air slowly out.  Using 'Slime' or Fix a Flat can solve the issue.  

I'm loving the look of the LF-CC. Can't wait for the production version to come out...

_{Hopefully your wife is okay. I've never heard of the window exploding. I've had my CT 200h for over a year now and so far so good. Hopefully Lexus will replace the window as a warranty.}
