I really wasn't looking to get the sport package (not crazy about the interior), but with available vehicles very limited for purchase by the end of next week there weren't many options. Actually, if I get this vehicle I will feel lucky because it is awesome. Also, it is Silver Pine, which is what I really wanted (but my wife didn't ).

I just bought the 05 gx w/sport pak...

The interior of the sport pak looks a lot better than I was lead to believe. The black birds eye maple is a very nice touch and it complements my lt tan leather very well. The wheels are not as gray and dusty as some members have described in the past. They definitely sets the truck off from the non sports.

Just got word from dealer that I can pick up my GX next week. Ended up with Ash Blue / Ivory. Ordered dark interior but will take the tan. They were only given two GXs with sport pack and I feel lucky just to be one of the two.

The Waiting Game is over, since I took delivery of our 2005 GX470 (Black / Ivory) yesterday and it was well worth the wait and so far everything I expected and more. What a great ride and the power of that V8 is incredible. This is going to be one heck of a fun vehicle to drive. All I have to do now is beg my wife to let me drive it once in a while! HA!

Thanks again to you all putting up with my crazy waiting game comments!

Thanks and it is everything I hoped it would be and perhaps more. My wife is surprised at the lack of "head toss" around turns. It's no BMW for sure but pretty good for a tall SUV. I definitely don't mind driving this vehicle.
