I have a shorter commute now so I will also be checking out the FJ Cruiser (not really a truck guy but I love the look and think they will be collectible one day) and I will also be checking out the Fiesta ST just because it is too cool imo. If neither of those jumps out at me then I will do another LS460, this time long wheelbase, for now.
one guy I know bought 3 years old FJ with 20k miles, he sold it half year later with 7k profit. Some people love FJ so much that they are willing to pay brand new price for an used one

My cousin has an FJ that he loves. Not my sort of thing, but its a great platform.

If you want a more "Lexus" feel, look at a GX...the GX and FJ are on the same platform.

Do you get to keep the car? You could part it our or repair and resell it.

Nope, the car is gone, insurance will take it from the Lexus body shop. The option would be there if I wanted to keep it, but this isn't really the kind of car you do that with. I'm going to check out the FJ and Fiesta today. I am sure the FJ will be less comfortable than the GX, as I've driven the GX before, I just don't think that the GX has the cult following or "cool factor" that makes the FJ so appealing.
