In an interesting twist: Toyota has gone up to 65 series tires for the 18" wheel option. I am quite surprised. Wheelbase now matches Land Cruiser at an identical 112.2

2020 Highlander First Review.
Looking good. A sharper SUV.
It looks tighter and more fitting. Great to hear that if feels Lexus like. But not the best 3 row. I have no doubt a larger Traverse style Sequoia is coming.

My brain is so SUV saturated that I can't even tell if this is nice or not.

There should not be any press-embargos on its road-manners.....that is pure nonsense. If he can't talk freely as an auto-press-reviewer, then let someone else ride along with them and let THEM talk.

From the review, I didn't get any impression of "Lexus." No wood, little luxury, etc. Not a bad job, but not up-class.
So it's quite interesting Toyota decided to use the Highlander to re-introduce a Boss Hogg feature...

this highlander seems very nice, but i think toyota's going to regret they didn't make it a bit bigger. At 6:30 into that video you can see the third row is still a joke. but it will definitely sell well anyway.
i don't care for the odd infotainment area and 'traditional' shifter still.

Then everyone has a fair "start" to launch their stories. If an outlet was to break an embargo, they likely could be moved down in priority for inclusion in future events, vehicle evaluation loans, etc.

Like you said, it'll still sell, and they'll likely never know how much more it might have sold had it been that half size larger. As you know, Toyota drags its heels on a lot of things, look at how long it took for a 3 row Lexus to show up, and even then, pretty terrible (since it's Highlander based). This may not bode well for an improved (read: significantly enlarged) RX-L, so maybe they'll have an more dedicated larger 3 row for Lexus, since they don't have Sienna to offer for larger 3 row needs.
