i think the navi is too far away from driver. obviously Toyota won't let you use while you're in motion, so why put it so far away. Now the f*n kids are just going to get their greasy hands all over the screen while trying to put on their music haha

nice interior otherwise, can't wait to get a new LX

shocked by the new tundra interior quality, not the Sequonia, I havn't had a chance to check it out ( of course! )
Compare to the last Gen tundra, the fit and finish is very disspointing on the all new tundra, even with leather interior.

Toyota officially has a more interesting and bolder interior color palette than Lexus.

That's sad.

in my option, old one looked like an donkey :P

interior looks fine in the pics, dashboard has soft plastics, carpeting is high quality, and options are high quality options... 2nd row pics show good interior quality.

but then again, it will be expensive too.

I can't believe that horrible 2 tone interior scheme in the Sequoia as well. I mean, this stuff is lifted straight out of the Tundra with only minor modifications.

It's very "Tundra-ish." Same front grill, same dash/interior. It's like a pick-up with a cover for the back... (what do you call those things?)

Sequoia


Tundra

I think its the fact that everyone was expecting a little bit more. The domestic Big 3 have moved on from making there fullsize SUV's look like there pickup trucks with a shell on the back and some extra seats. The Silverado and Tahoe look nothing alike, the F150 and Expedition again look nothing a like. Its 2007 (going into 2008), and Toyota is still doing the same damn thing. All they did is add a new bumper and some different trim.

Sometimes Toyota's mass marketing practices can become overkill IMO.

And then comes the issues about the spotty quality that has plagued the Tundra. Will those issues spill over into this new Sequoia?? Or have they fixed it??

But with all that said, I'm okay with its Durango-esque, half assed look.
