denslexusgx470

there was a headlight condensation, in one of the loaner rx330s i got before. but hopefully none for my Gx! :whistles:

I just drove an LR3 this morning. The dealer let me take it for a couple hours to really give it the once over. My first impressions. The interior is nowhere near as nice as the GX470. It does have more storage cubbyholes though, including two glove boxes, and a nice deep center console storage bin. No birds eye maple, no french seam seats and door trim. Lots of cheap feeling dark plastic. The LR3 does not ride as well as my Lexus. It's composed, and it was rattle free, but I felt the bumps more then I do in my Lexus. The Lexus is much quieter inside then the LR3, both in regard to road noise and engine noise. The LR3 has a usable third row seat, unlike the Lexus. The second row seats in the LR3 however, do not have as much leg room as the Lexus. It also didn't appear to have as much width in that second seat for fitting three adults there. The LR3 V8 has more horsepower, but it sure didn't feel any quicker. The LR3 has a better system for choosing the type of 4wd gearing to use. There is a 4 position rotary switch on the center console, with english language settings for "normal", mud/snow, ruts, or rock climbing. That seems like a much more elegant way to do it then the GX's low range gear lever. After driving the LR3 for a couple hours, It felt good to get back into my Lexus. I won't be trading it in on an LR3 anytime soon. :) ← Motor Trend named the LR3 the 2005 Sport Utility of the Year???? Anyway, I took a look at their site and judging from the other contenders, it's possible. Enjoyed reading your review of the LR3. Thanks. ← i know, i was kinda surprised!

Four Wheeler, and 4X4 magazines have done some of that to the Gx & H2...

VERY rare in my area

yeah, i use 87. (manuals recommend 91, but screw that!)

i'm guessing ur Rx is fully loaded? i think it sounds fair (more or less)

correct me on this, if ur car is hybrid, u can't modify it, like enginewise??

doesn't that depend if ur neighbor's router is capable of a far distance, right??

hey, u be careful out there. you know sales people (no offense to anyone). careful, or ur Gx my end up as a used car and taking home a new LR3! lol

very true. i can feel the difference between the Rx330 and the Gx470, thru the loaners!

oh man! :chairshot: :chairshot: my gx is back in da shop, not for the clunk (didn't feel like getting that done yet) but for 2 rear brake leaks in the axle! :cries:

ok, i duno about u guyz, but i finally got to use the seat heaters again (cuz winter rolled around fast this year) and they don't just get lukewarm, but fairly warmer than the explanation u guyz have said. probably not as warm as the Rx330's but warm enough for me! B) oh boy!

i heard of this topic somewhere before... <_<

sorry to say, i kinda don't like the design of the new mustang... :whistles:

i'm not really surprised. all the car companies will eventually copy each other's inventions! <_<

oh man, already having problems just REGISTERING my new comcast broadband internet! :chairshot:

hey since u live in ca, go email the dealers down south in LA. they should get you a good price anytime. That is what i do everytime I shop around for a Lexus. Fresno Lexus was just lucky with me this time... :P If you want a suggestion, go to either Tustin Lexus or Lexus Of Westminster! ;)

huh, they'd probably laugh at me and think i'm weird! lol :whistles:

Yes his justb lucky :P :P :P . I just drove home my GX470/9700G, 08/04 build loaded with evrything includes KDSS with MSRP of 53193.00 but the passanger side has no lumbar support. But in deed I can see the lumbar support mark cut. My VIN#'s last 5 numbers are 60544 ← hmmm, that is very strange... <_<

i've kinda noticed, (because of the loaners) that some Rx330s seem to be sluggish but the gas mpg seems to be the same. isn't the capacity around 19. something???

It is definitely worth the $$ for extended warranty becuz u can never trust these cars (even though i have a big trust in em) with so many high-tech features! heck, i think my Gx is a different story though.... <_<

WOW :o makes me wana ask my dealer if i can start and put my waiting list on a Hybrid Gx (well it'll eventually be on the Gx someday, right? :whistles: ) :D

i just noticed that the lyrics of Jay-z's "Black Album" was on the cover, seems that Jay-Z likes Lexus!

will hybrid be an option??? :whistles:

I didn't notice this either. Welcome 1SICK! :) So your name is Mike? I did not know that. ← Yup. B) People on forums call me SICK for short. ← hmmm i didn't know that SICK! lol do u think u can help me in the other forum (ahem)?? :P
