Ditto on "Finally"!!
I picked up my new '05 GX today! All I can say is "wow"! It is not my first SUV, but my first Lexus. The whole experience has been awesome. The dealer I bought from bills itself as the "largest Lexus dealer in the world" (in size, not car sales). The huge facility was built in Oct. 03 and is top notch. It's like a palace. Large plasma t.v.s everywhere. The service shop does not have a concrete floor, it is ceramic!
Anyway, I got a loaded Silver w/gray interior, sport package (includes KDSS), navi/ML, third-row, RSES DVD, hitch bracket, rear spoiler, and preferred accessory pkg. As someone else said, the interior is MUCH better looking than I expected. I think now I like the black maple much more than the light maple. I will try to get some pictures up next week. The ride is excellent, although the steering was more "sensitive" than I am used to (meaning a slight turn of the wheel gets a reaction). The suspension system seems great so far (I tried a few manuevers, to my wife's chagrin). The nav/audio interface is great, and nav works pretty good so far.
Gotta go, New Years plans (I will be thinking about the car all night). Happy New Year all!

Congratulations on your new purchase! When you get around to taking pictures of your truck, could you possibly get a closeup of the graphite trim on the wheels? Thanks.

Congrats luckylex!!
You have the same GX as me (great color choice
) except with the KDSS and Sport Package! I'm sure the ride is awesome! It does exceed expectations doesn't it? I am thrilled with mine even after setting up completely ridiculous expectations in my mind after waiting for several months. Looking forward to the pictures!

LuckyLex - Congrats again! The 2005s are slowly filtering in! I finally picked up my 05 Black GX yesterday and it was well worth the wait. I share your same exact happiness in the GX too! Amazing truck!

The wait wasn't that long was it?

I waited 2 days for my IS, and it almost killed me!
Congrats Luckylex and Lexguynj on your new trucks, and welcome to the Lexus family
