You are right, I had a chance to see more Blue Meridian Pearl colors online and they are nice, but I still want black and will just have to wait another couple of weeks. I think I can do it! Keep us updated once you hear more for your upcoming GX too!

I also find myself thinking about quite a bit (about my vehicle, not Marc's 
). Today I spent some time cleaning out the inside of my current vehicle, trying to create some karma!
We put in 3 color preferences (in order, Blizzard, Silver, Black), so I figure the chance of getting one of those is pretty good and less likely to be disappionted.

Very nice. And Bluetooth looks like a nice add. By the way, in one of the pictures, it appeared that a DVD movie was showing both on NAV screen as well as RES. It that how it works?

In regards to the Type of Fuel issue, I would assume that when you buy a $50K+ SUV with poor gas mileage, the cost of fuel would not be your top priority and you would just fill up with with Premium / Super all the time to baby your vehicle and make sure it gets the best. Sure people will say there is no need to pay the higher price for Premium and your GX can run just as good on regular, but premium is the cleanest grade gasoline and I would only want the best for my GX to have it continue to run at it's best. If the cost of gas was a major issue, I would get a RX400 Hybrid for the better gas mileage, however even then I'd still fill up on Premium / Super gas.
This is just my opinion, since I remember someone else stating the negative that the 2005s could only use Premium fuel and myself thinking, what's the big deal?

There's a guy over on the MBworld.org forums that really knows his stuff. He goes by Buellwinkle. Go do a search over there and see what you find. Good luck!

For those of you that have gotten your 2005 GX, what type of tires did it come with? I can't find the post, but I remember someone saying they switched the Bridgestones with Michelins? I'm going to try to get my dealer to do that, but they said each Lexus comes with specific tires that they must approve. What process did you go about to do the switch? Are the Michelin's All-Seasons, or Snow/Mud Tires (tires that GXs come with according to the Lexus Website).
Thanks Guys.
