Glad to hear you are looking at another B58 vehicle, the German car ownership cult welcomes you! It's great here once you actually try it haha!

Hope to have one in our garage soon. Wife loves it!!
Edit: I didn’t sit in the driver’s seat let alone drive it. I tried out the front passenger massage feature. 2nd row was nice and comforty with more than enough USB-C ports for the kids. And the 3rd row is doable but more suited for kids(teenagers). Lots of tech coming from a Lexus/Toyota background. Don’t care for the AC controls being in the infotainment. We test drove it for 15 min at least. Nice smooth ride. Wife threw it in sport mode and it moves for its size. Side note: wonder if I can tune it?😏 M sport package is a must. I spent time in the service shop talking to couple master techs about the reliability of the X7. They ensured the X7 is pretty solid and dependability besides upon of arriving seeing a X7 come in on a tow truck🫣 Coming from Toyota/Lexus, it will have a warranty longer than a mortgage.

We were supposed to go look at the GX 550 afterwards and my wife told me she didn’t want to go look at it. We test drove the X7 right past the Lexus dealer. The GX look pretty sitting out there.
Wife’s cousin has a pre refresh X7 with 101k trouble free miles. So that’s encouraging
Maybe a JB4. That may be better so I can remove it for warranty or service work.

Took the Honda out today with the fam to run a few errands. From hauling a$$ on the track to hauling kids, hobby lobby, Whole Foods, Walmart and picking up some lunch, I think the Honda handles the job pretty well. My wife did mention the Supra rides more smooth than the Honda. I think me grabbing gears in the Honda causes a little nausea for her vs the smooth auto trans in the Supra.
