Replying to: sma3 (Aug 24, 2006 5:36 pm) lets you choose GX 470, then you can pick either 2006 or 2007. A couple things I noticed in my comparison (zip is in South Florida; Note, the Sport Package is still not offered in my area but the black wood trim seems to be available now without the Sport package for some colors): 1) No MSRP increase (still $46,635 + 695 destination) 2) In my area, there are now 10 packages being offered instead of 20. 3) 2 identical 2006 packages with Nav are now about $200 more in my area for 2007. 4) 3 identical 2006 packages with Nav & RSES are now about $300 more in my area for 2007. 5) As stated before, same 7 exterior colors, but... 6) (again... no Sport Package offered in my area, but) These colors allowed me to choose interior colors with the black birds-eye maple trim: Titanium Metallic, Ash Blue Mica, and Black Onyx (not sure if this is a mistake or what). 7) On the Accessories page (page 4), there is now an item called "17-inch Six-Spoke Alloy Wheels" So to summarize, no price increase, but some of the more popular packages seem to have a $200-$300 price increase and there might be a way to get the black wood trim on some colors without the Sport Package (what I really wanted was the Sport Pkg available with the brown wood since stand-alond KDSS is so difficult to get). |

I recognize the fact that these two cars are not the same class of vehicle yet my wife and I have reduced our choices of our new car to the GX470 from Lexus and the GL450 from Mercedes. We have leased 2 MLs in the past 6 years and have had no problems with either of them. This time around we wanted a third-row seat so after much debate we settled on these two. I have driven both extensively and am currently negotiating deals on both, but we can't decide!! Here are the things that are important to us: GL: More Power than GX More luxurious than GX Better handling than GX Power folding mirrors (not avail on GX) Integrated sattelite radio (only available as a separate unit on GX) Power folding third-row seat (goofy third-row in GX) GX: Not as large as GL (12 inches shorter) Rear-seat entertainment (also available in GL but for more $$) Integrated Bluetooth (separate and expensive add-on on GL) The difference in price is about $100/mo on a 3 year lease. Should we get the Lexus and spend less money while still getting a nice vehicle ($1,000 over invoice), or should we go with the GL for only $100 more per month (selling below invoice - end of month deal)? |
