Default New GX

Well. . . looks like I am now a GX owner. I got rid of my LS430 and got a GX last night. After almost dying in a winter accident and almost having several heart attacks from stress due to winter driving, I decided the GX was a smart choice. I grew up in California, and moved here to Utah. I never learned how to drive in the snow and my rear-drive LS was not a good choice for here. I am excited to be back in an SUV and the GX, I have realized, is the perfect size for me. (I've had 2 suburbans and an Isuzu Rodeo. The burbans were too big, but I loved them, and the Redeo was a perfect size--which is why I love the GX so much--just a touch bigger, but not suburban huge.) Anyway, she is a 2009, tan on tan and I love the red wood interior. Here are a couple pics from last night. I will get more pics when it gets light outside. :-) (By the way--the first pics was at a chevron--not the Utah Valley Motor--and the second pic was at the Lexus dealership.) :-)

I think of the GX as a big suv version of the LS, congrats!
