Toyota has already told us that the 2017 4runner and 2017 GX will not have collision avoidance. Hinting that 2018 will, likely with a redesign.
And the 3 row RX precluding the GX is all BS. The GX and LX are already both 3 rows. The Highlander, 4Runner, Sequoia and Landcruiser are all 3 row SUVs. They all sell well.

Seriously, you felt the need to correct that I felt the Denali was the more premium version to compare to the GX. I realize that may seem to conflict with me including the Tahoe, but I was actually comparing those vehicles. I've owned four previous generation Tahoes. When I compared them this time I was surprised to learn that the Tahoe offers most of the premium features the Denali has. The main difference in what you can get on them is the bigger engine. But I do get your point.

Looks like sales have been good in the U.S. so a discontinue would be surprising:

At our high around here we never really got above $4.00/gallon for premium. Mostly mid $3.00s. I might have paid over $4.00 during that summer of 2008.
So when I pull up today and see premium at $2.89 or $2.99 when regular is $1.99 it pisses me off.

I guess I need to kiss the days of $1.50/gallon goodbye

I have read some articles said that even the car is required to use premium, one can still use regular as long as the engine does not knock. Do you guys have any comments on that?

The premium in CA is about that price at Costco, and only 10 cents different in regular. Why the premium is $1 different from regular?

Most of premium gas requirement on luxury cars is marketing. Only high-performance applications truly require high-octane. As Eppieguy said, modern engines will adjust timing to avoid knock and you'll never have any problems.
GX and LX in particular are bogus on the premium fuel requirement. Same engines as in the Toyota application, same compression ratio, same everything. But premium is "required" in the manual.
