Sweet, hope this test drive works out. I'm very interested to hear about it. I know someone with one and he loves it. I've never driven it, but I have sat inside.

I haven’t really looked at the latest one, I will do that.

CX-90 has great lease deals, will check that out too as a couple people above suggested
Would the BOF ride not be too harsh?

That seems like a winner except for the charging infrastructure you want for WV trips but you could always take the MB. You could even increase the price a bit with more options since the monthly lease cost is so low.

when i worked at the toyota dealer i'd get married couples coming in wanting to see the highlander (highlanduh in NY) and it was often the wife that would notice the 4Runner and get more excited about that haha... i think it's that jeep / g wagen thing going on, guys look for stylish curves and girls want something rugged looking

GX has a 3rd row that may not be suitable for your needs though.

They have access to the Tesla chargers so we should be good.

I've been seeing a GX550 at work a lot lately. Very good looking vehicle, one of the few good looking Lexus models in a while.

Unfortunately the engine is hot dogshit.......

We're on Page 11... who wants to put in their bet? ICE or ICE Free? And at what page will this happen? My bet: ICE at Page... 30.

They look great though, engine and interior is a letdown but that's common to so many things these days

I still think brand matching would be very cool
