Hi All, I have a 2003 GX470. It has the NAV Option, but no camera. The GX, being tall, has a drawback in that I usually don't see the car in the back. Having a backup camera will be a solution. I am aware that since 2004, Lexus does offer the camera, but it is a part of the NAV. Is it possible to add this feature into my existing NAV? If not, should I go with an independent camera? And which independent camera is best for me to go with? Hopefully I can receive a few good advices... Thank you. |

Anyone heard what is going to be new in the 2007 model? I'm trying to decide if I should buy one now or wait until the 2007 model comes out. If I wait for the 2007 (August/September) can I still expect to get a good deal or will I have to pay closer to sticker?

Replying to: jturvold (May 15, 2006 9:26 am) If it's still a dressed up Toyota 4Runner I would advise against buying one if you do a serious amount of highway driving. After a lengthy trip to Yosemite and back (to Tucson) I found our GX very unstable on the highway at any speed above 70 mph. After posting this on the Lexus and the Toyota websites it became evident that both vehicles are intrinsically unstable at highway speeds. If you plan on merely enjoying the luxury the GX offers and tool around town as my wife does with hers it will not matter. It's a very luxurious SUV ... IMO it's second rate when it hits the higher speeds on the open highways. If it was MY daily ride it would be gone. I'm intolerant of less than perfection. Bart :shades:

Replying to: vogued (Jun 26, 2006 3:21 pm) I haven't driven the LX470 but my brother-in-law has the Toyota Land Cruiser (same truck) and says it's as steady as an anvil. He's had three or four of them ... drives back and forth from Monterey to his place in Jackson Hole several times each year. Loved my Navigator ... got hammered on resale so would only get one on an incentive laden lease (and they're blowin' 'em out here for 4th of July "sale"). Wouldn't have the MB (two of my friends here have had to have engines replaced) or BMW on a bet ... too many problems, too austere. $50K+ and they want you to drive ugly? Not me. I'd look at the big Infiniti ... but I haven't driven it and it looks clumsy to my eye so I wouldn't have it. From a quality perspective, however, Infiniti's right up there with (and in many respects better than) Lexus. My daily ride is the Infiniti M35 Sport and the quality's sensational and the technology knocks the socks off my wife's GX. Hope this helps. Bart

Replying to: nedzel (Jun 27, 2006 9:58 am) That's what my 3 neighbors say who have them.... But they do drive nicely. Just like the Navigators, IMO. Bad brakes though, way too small. Nissan wasn't quite ready to play with the Big Boys, it seems. |

I really loved my Acura MDX, and would consider another one if I ever tire of the GX. The wind issue doesn't really bug me, I got used to it. I think it it just due to the height of the vehicle in the crosswinds. Otherwise I am very happy. But the MDX was awesome too, I am waiting to see what they do with it when it is time for the re-do. We own a Nissan Titan, and have not had any issues except for a few minor recall notices. I am sure it will run forever, but the fit and finish quality is sorely lacking. I wonder if the Infinitis have the same fit and finish issues. |
