So where are your third row seats? We all know they are a PIA if you need to haul anything of size.

Default Damn things are pretty much useless (m)

They are somewhere in the basement, nicely covered in plastic.

I voted for the basement but my seats are actually in the attic, where they've been since day 1. I didn't need the seats but wanted the rear air because my dogs are always with me.

I looked at my seats today, hanging up in the back, and noticed the rear side windows have defrost elements in them - things that make you say Hmmmm.

Those are not defrost elements, they are antennas. There is 2 sets of antennas for the GX, one is powered and one is not. The radio selects the one with the best reception.

BTW one of the 3rd row seat is in the car and other one is in my basement, I didnt vote because I didnt see a option for that.

Being that the water table is about 3' down here on this island, I have no basement so mine are in my ground-level garage.
3-member family = no need for 3rd row seats.
