#409 of 3125 Re: SRX is a tall wagon [smittywall] by landy man Feb 09, 2006 (6:56 pm)
Replying to: smittywall (Feb 09, 2006 4:23 pm) While I am sure that Lexus makes some good vehicles I know more than one person lured by Lexus "quality" who purchased one of these GXes but regretted it due to front end vibrations and other problems that could not be corrected. I am a Land Rover enthusiast who has owned 5 of them since 1997 including two Discoveries, one LR-3, a Defender 90 and a '73 North American Spec Series III (looks like a Defender). Love those Land Rovers, which unlike Lexus, are not known for quality. Maybe we've been lucky. Of course, every brand has its problems now and then. My wife and/or I have owned almost every brand of European car including aforesaid LRs, Mercedes Benz (2), BMW (3), VW (3), Volvo (1), Audi (3) Saab (12) and Porsche (2). I admit that I am a picky, fickle owner, but an enthusiast, too. Point is, we leased our first American car, an 04 Tahoe, in 11/03 because it offered room, comfort, a built in DVD for our youngster, AWD and robust features to drive over the streets of Newark, New Jersey where I work without complaint while delivering 17-19 MPG. Everybody drives them and we figured something must be right about that. And it since has racked up 54,000 trouble free miles. My wife and I were so impressed with the apparent quality of the 07 Tahoe, we've ordered one of those to replace the 04. It was hard to turn down with a $1500 certificate from GM and the pull ahead program. The replacement is an LT-3 which is pretty loaded. Dealer sold it 1K over tissue, just over 43K. I don't think that is a bad number given what equipment it has and believe that GM is right on the number. Surely it is less than or euqal to GX and many other competitors. With some luck it won't be a repeat of Cadillac's V8-6-4 debacle.

Replying to: smittywall (Feb 09, 2006 4:23 pm) You are not serious? First, the Prado is the "Toyota" version of the GX sold pretty much everywhere but the US. Both the 4Runner and Prado ride on the same platform er "FRAME" which the SRX and said Envoy do not have since they are unibody construction. As far as an Envoy comparing to any Toyota product, you gotta be kidding. All of this flag waving is wonderful, but it really is "US" against them (the UAW). They WILL destroy the US auto industry. As a friend of mine recently put it: "they are a parasite and GM and Ford are the host". Gettlefinger has made it clear that they are through with giving back concessions to the manufacturers. To buy a sub-par GM (or Ford) product my my mind is supporting this stone-age mentality. After supporting Ford for many years and many vehicles, I am through.

Replying to: tyresmoker (Feb 10, 2006 4:17 am) Envoy and Trailblazer are not unibody, but build on frame. Replies to this message: tyresmoker (Feb 10, 2006 6:20 am) sebring95 (Feb 10, 2006 6:38 am)

Replying to: jay_24 (Feb 10, 2006 6:12 am) My mistake..they are full frame.

Replying to: jay_24 (Feb 10, 2006 6:12 am) Yes, an Envoy Denali is very comparable to a GX470 (sarcasm off...).   The Envoy is really a competitor to the 4Runner ltd. It's not really much of a luxury vehicle.   Nothing impressive about the trailblazer/envoy chassis IMHO. At least the Tahoe chassis is fairly decent to begin with (hopefully even better now) and the Yukon Denali and Escalade can function more closer to luxury vehicles. In the past they still haven't been as refined as a true luxury vehicle but beyond the LX470 there wasn't much competition there anyway.
#414 of 3125 Attention Deficit Disorder by rooskie Feb 10, 2006 (6:35 pm)
So I came over here looking for a discussion on the Tahoe and find numerous posts about Toyotas, Lexi and the SRX. Who cares? Take it back to those forums. Can we now discuss the Tahoe? Thank you. Replies to this message: tyresmoker (Feb 11, 2006 4:48 am)

Replying to: rooskie (Feb 10, 2006 6:35 pm) Ok, lets talk about the fact that GM did a great job improving the seats, seat travel and overall comfort for tall drivers. Then lets talk about the fact that, assuming in order to save a few bucks, they chose to use a cheap sunroof supplier. As a result, all of the work they did in making more room is lost due to a sunroof design lifted from the 1970's which takes about 2" of headroom from the roof. There are many "slimline" designs on the market right now, many of which are used by the Asian and Eurpoean competition. I find it amazing that there is more (real)headroom in a sunroof equipped Pathfinder than there is in a sunroof equipped Tahoe.
#416 of 3125 '07 in the flesh by blckislandguy Feb 12, 2006 (10:13 am)
I just saw the '07 Tahoe in the flesh for the first time. IMHO its fantastic. Smooth looking outside, great interior, etc. etc. The LTZ I saw had a MSRP of 50K and the LT had one of 47K. You could easily knock a lot of money off the price of this LT by deleting the Navigation $2300), heated second seats for $200 (do your dogs really need heated seats?), the third seat ($850), maybe even the sunroof at $850 (how often do people really use these things?), etc.   I don't know though what the final transaction prices will be on these but I suspect that an LT will cost around 40K once all the pushing and shoving are done. Its a great looking vehicle with an interior that can't be beat.

Replying to: 06lly (Feb 08, 2006 8:57 am) smoke and mirrors.. you check and see what you get with the '07 as compared with previous years... plus the fact less rebates.. same smoke and mirrors that GM et al used for their Employee prices' end of year deals... check the previous end of model year discounts at the very same time as when those Employee promos went into effect.. and if you know a Chevy dealer well enuff he'll tell you.. 'smoke and mirrors'..same-same discounts just a different marketing technique..   you said simple.. I just gave you back simplicity.. no calculator required   I just love it when someone casts a slightly negative tone on these boards and gives an honest opinion and the holier than thou diehards defend the model to the utmost... wherry wherry scary...
#418 of 3125 Too Close A Spread? by blckislandguy Feb 12, 2006 (5:58 pm)
The '07 LTZ Tahoe stickers at 50K. Autoweek (January 20, 06) reports that the 'Slade is due in dealerships in Februrary and will sticker 57K including freight and the Caddy exclusive 6.2 403 hp engine. This is a very narrow spread considering the higher content. Maybe it is so narrow that it will canibalize some LTZ sales (if you can get by the NBA Home boy image of the Caddy.)
