Replying to: ljflx (Nov 04, 2008 7:23 pm) I agree that the 460 is much more automobile but I just feel more comfortable driving the 430 for some reason. It seems less formal and is just the perfect fit for me. I like to think that I am a lifelong learner, so my taste may change in the future.  A couple of months back I also traded my 2000 LX in on a 2007 model. Kind of weird because with very minor changes the two are practically identical and drive and handle the same. I really liked the 2008 LX but just could not bring myself to spend over 80 grand. Got a great deal on the 07 and actually like the interior better. Don't be a stranger !

Replying to: houdini1 (Nov 05, 2008 6:35 pm) It's been so busy and I never did like the way Edmunds splintered everything. It seems like a lot of boards died at that point. But I'll post more. The car is so great that there's almost nothing to post about though. On the SUV front the LX is driving me crazy. It is so perfect. I drove it again yesterday. My wife has taken over the LS leaving me to drive the GX on my longer business jaunts. The GX rides great but that LX is a dream. I don't know - I'm just lost on this SUV front. I did look at the ML yesterday and I agree with bmlexus that the interior leaves a lot to be desired. MB is running a great lease deal on this now but I don't think I'd be happy in that interior for 30-36 months. Except for the interior, I liked the ML's styling, ride and handling. The LX has special incentivized pricing now and the dealer is getting me a quote. I'll also look at the LC and I remain bery intrigued by the Highlander in both ltd and hybrid form. But the LX is in a league by itself. I've got till Dec 9th on the GX and with thanksgiving it's a short month so i'll be deciding in the next two weeks.

Replying to: ljflx (Nov 06, 2008 7:36 am) Remember, at that point gas was much higher and we were offered a great deal on the LC. It is not quite as nice as the LX but...the one we looked at and drove had most options incl. nav and listed for about $71K. It was offered to me for $59K . I was flabbergasted at that price and would have bought it but my wife insisted on the LX. The LC was a brand new unit with about 30 miles on it.

Replying to: houdini1 (Nov 05, 2008 6:25 pm) I will look into it. But I just don't seem to like sedans anymore, my cousins and uncle's are responsible  because they all own suvs, from the new cruiser to the new lx570. After driving these suvs, I just can't go back to a sedan. |

Replying to: houdini1 (Nov 06, 2008 8:04 am) $59k  that was a very big discount I think the new cruiser would have been a better choice, but I guess its not your decision.

Replying to: ljflx (Nov 06, 2008 7:36 am) I insist on getting the LX, without looking any further. Its superior to all other suvs, nothing comes close

Replying to: bmlexus (Nov 06, 2008 4:29 pm) If it were only that easy. You see this is not a financial issue. If it was I'd figure out a way to overcome that. This is a wife issue and she wants no part of anything that big. I can get the LX with a list of $83K at $1299 for 42 months with zero down and they'll also pay my last month GX payment. But the wife doesn't want it. She loves it as a passenger but not as a driver. I'd take it in a heartbeat as it's the best SUV I've ever been in - by far. Highlander Ltd or Highlander Hybrid Ltd is the favorite right now. If you look at the Highlander close it looks like a smaller LX. What Lexus should have done is morphed the GX off the new Highlander when it got updated instead of the old 4runner. A higher MPG Lexus at a level over the RX would have been smarter than a lesser level gas guzzling SUV to the LX.
