Congratulations (as always), Greg! Curious - was there a particular reason for the update or just the new car itch (which I totally understand)? Ours is two weeks old, and we absolutely love it (even the much-maligned [in pre-2016 form] Dunlop tires have impressed me favorably thus far).
Been driving the 2017 RX for a month or so now and really enjoying the getting back in the LX. Not that the RX was not fun but I felt too exposed to harm and feel safer in the LX. Took the RX to Atlanta a few weeks ago and it was not the LX for sure.
I love this beast!😻

well my insurance sent me a check with an OEM windshield replacement, but i kept it and trade my truck, after they tried to repair it, I didn't have confidence with them anymore, about the tranny I didn't have any problems with my previous one or the new one yet, but the my new 17" LX is feel weird when it going to stop like the brake pedal shake before it complete stop which is didn't act like that on my previous 16" LX

Hi guys, let me start out with my short story, i just had my 16" LX for four months and got a rock hit my windshield, got safelite try to fix it, but still there 
and I don't want to replace it because I afraid it would leak later, thinking hard for two months and finally trade it in for 17" LX i know i am dumb to do that, but i got a year newer and a great thing that i found on the new 17" LX is NO more white line where the speed odometer of the head up display on the windshield, i think Lexus corrected that issue which nice

I generally trade once a year. I have had no issues with my Dunlops and they seem to be capable. I live in Florida so wet weather is about as bad as it gets. They were quiet, even after I had them rotated.

I think these Dunlops are definitely an improvement over the 20" versions in '08+ LX (I remember you had a preference for the OEM Michelins).
As for the LX vs. RX part, I hear you completely. The RX is very nice, but I can't resist the big truck with the V8 either. You do have the hybrid, which adds to the fun.

The only "feature" I gather was taken away was that HUD line I haven't seen (for obvious reasons).

That feature still exists; it's just turned off in your '17. Next time you engage the E-brake, when you are pulling on the switch, hold it. It will eventually beep, and you'll see an update in the cluster telling you that auto-on/off has been enabled.

Please reread my post. My point is that your '16 was delivered to you with the "Auto E-Brake" setting enabled, and your '17 has it turned off. What I described is how you can enable it in your '17 so that it does exactly the same as your '16. For what it's worth, my '17 actually had it enabled when I got it, and I turned it off! Go figure...

Like you said, we only go around once! Again, enjoy! I hope your dealership treats you right. For what it's worth, earlier today I was actually commenting with my wife about how long it's been since I've had an ongoing relationship with a car sales department. I have bought four new Lexus vehicles from four different places...

The people at Lexus of Jacksonville know me very well and they have never failed in treating me right. I have bought over 20 vehicles from them! The service department has never disappointed. They even arranged an two day loaner of a GS-F which I found exhilarating but reminded me why I do not need that much horsepower on a daily basis. The damn thing was a rocket ship for sure.
GS-F... my, oh my! I have been afraid of driving that car as I don't want to be tempted. For now, I am sticking to my 600hL as my "fun" car. It's no GS-F, but the damn thing does pull!
