I sure did. It seemed a little smaller inside now that I remember. Not the actual size, but the driving position feels more "centralized".
I still haven't seen one of these out on the streets except for one close to the dealer that was on a test drive.

I still desire one of these pretty badly, and like the design. I hate the engine but I'm sure I'd get used to it.
No question the competition is way better for the 98% of stuff Americans would use them for, but there is still a market (even if teeny) that wouldn't drive anything else. These are really exclusive, which has done nothing but elevate LX name status in my opinion.
I saw an old school LX450 yesterday and thought "That was the worst, most rushed rebadge job ever (but it was still an 80 so who cares) and now look at what the LX name has turned into, it's one of the most exclusive SUVs you can buy."

I'm getting the Sequoia TRD Pro in for review in about a month. Very excited to see what this chassis does with the off-road-tuned shocks, fatter tires, and added power from the hybrid setup.
Also, the LX 600 computer says I've averaged 16.8 MPG over the last week, which I'd say is about 55-60% highway driving. Not impressive, but not horrible for a large SUV with sport mode engaged.

It's not competitive to an Escalade, Navi, X7, etc. but there is a market for these and they do serve a purpose.
