They just released the pictures like 5 days ago. There are none at dealers obviously.

No '25 Tahoes or Yukons yet, either.

Seeing how the domestics can do big 3 row BOF suvs so well, just makes me shake my head every time I see a Sequoia. It was designed and engineered in America by an American engineer. It's like they were oblivious to what customers want and how well the domestics are doing in this segment. It could would have been the first $100k+ Lexus that sells in meaningful numbers. Just a lost opportunity.

OK, fine....no problem. That may (?) have been my bad, but I had no idea exactly when the shots were released, or when we would see the actual vehicle at dealerships. In fact, many styling updates (as you well know) are kept under wraps (literally) with bras, body-tape, dark-tinted-out windows, dash-covers, and other physical disguises designed to ward off the spy-photos. Often, when the disguises are taken off, that can be a sign that they are about to be shipped to dealerships.

I wouldn't mind trying one of those out to compare $80,000 of Sequoia to the Denali. But I don't want to waste a salesman's time.

Nothing beats the snarl of that 6.2... The more I drive it the more it attaches itself to my heart. Toyotas have fake V8 noises coming through the speakers, what a shame. To be fair it's not just them.

haha. Love it. Great post

Yukon has a snarl that is just intoxicating.

LX 5.7 sounds like it's blowing bubbles in a good way combined with the loud rumble (it's louder than GMC) is also intoxicating.

i've never been an engine, exhaust (or any other car) noise fan. i want as little noise as possible, from the engine, exhaust, tires, road, wind, etc.

it's funny i have an lc500, praised widely for its loud exhaust, lol.

SW17LS

I like a little noise. My S580 has a great exhaust note, it’s very subdued but it sounds really good. As much as I love the sound of the LC’s engine note I would get tired of that every day.

the amazing thing about the lc though is the exhaust is truly jekyl and hyde. if you drive it 'normally' it's not loud at all. it's only when you basically floor it and let the revs go high that it gets intense.

i love that split personality. and with the 10 speed, at 75mph you're only doing 1500 rpm.

It's actually 6.4 that went into the GWs. Even a bigger monster. Over 50 horsepower more than the GM 6.2. I think it had 473Hp?

But they dropped it.

How is that transmission? It's it imperceptible as it goes through all those gears?

I wasn't a huge fan of these transmissions with this many gears, but the 10 speed in the Yukon is the smoothest and most imperceptible transmission I've ever experienced.

And I haven't even tried the ZF 8 speed!!!!
