Yeah, your other RX was getting tired and old...you needed the new bodystyle

I was wondering when your new RX was coming in.

I've found a Sequoia (sitting in carport now) for the folks. It's an amazing vehicle...a HUGE Toyota! I had to send my digicam to Fuji for repairs, so I won't be able to take pics for a couple weeks

Hey, you guys are getting ahead of yourselves.... New Bodysyle won't be out for at least 6 months.... And I don't think I'll be the first to have it..... But I'll still have that touch to impress.... As for the Imposter (LX/4runner) my mom has it...... And I hate it.... I don't know why, but I don't like it at all.....

I know, I was joking about the bodystyle

C'mon now, the Sequoia kick's ***! It is a Silver Limited 4x4 and sits mile high and drives like its half as big. The steering and braking are top notch. It has 4-piston front calipers :eek:

Well, i think we are cruising into opinion territory here if you mean "all that" however it is all that I described it to be. I am impressed with how it drives and the fit and finish is among the best in it's class. It's also very quiet.

Some of the more important factors were the side-curtain airbags, VSC and 4-wheel TRAC, electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, and the great crash test results. These will keep the folks safe while traveling.

I think the Sequoia is such a winner in my book is because it's a bargain compared to the LX/LC. It has the same V8 as those two, a newer platform, and is larger inside. I think it's a no-brainer compared to the Land Cruiser. It doesn't even have digital climate control and just feels like it needs to be bigger. I didn't like it when I first saw it a year ago b/c of the, IMO, plain styling (inside and out) but the more I saw it the more I loved it.

That is it, in a nutshell. I don't expect everyone to feel how I do about the SUV.
