I just noticed the touchpad after you mentioned it. Where did they relocate the toggle switches?

Also, thank god they got rid of the cheap silver plastic look around the infotainment center even if they just changed the color. I never liked the look of that part and felt it wasn’t worthy of its price point.

Yes that's true but not my point. The article says: "But it is finally getting a pretty major infotainment update to help modernize it"

How can they say it's a major update but leaving in dinosaur tech. That's not modernizing in my book.

CD is still a very best way to listen to music in a car. Luxury should be about options

The change in infotainment doesn't change the fact the GX still has dinosaur tech. If anything, keeping a CD player will help to not alienate its previous owner base who aren't as tech-savvy as say an X5 buyer. I remember someone in the forums who detested the Genesis GV80's cabin because he thought the infotainment was too intricate to use, and his only standard for comparison was a Lexus GX he owned. And the GV80 doesn't even have the advanced features of the German infotainments like gesture control. Make the GX too new and it would scare off people like him.

The more I look at this the more I like it. The climate control temp settings are out of LS/LC. Nice big touchscreen.

People aren't wrong when they say these are old, but that would not stop me from buying one of these. Something so safe and satisfying about this. Tough as nails. If one brand can pull this off, it's Toyota and Lexus. There are people still out buying 2021 Tundras from 2007 and loving every minute of it, even though the new one is just about here.

GX is one of the most popular expensive SUVs even counting crossovers around here in West Knox.

Id rather have any GX than any cross over out there.

100%. The only exception may be an RX for gas mileage considerations lol. $4.69 for premium where I live!

Hey, don't knock the CD player! Give me a 6-disc changer and I'll be thrilled. That and my XM radio of course

Personally, I can't get into another unibody SUV. They just dont feel the same. The 2021 RX I had as a loaner was such a let down.

xjokerz

Yeah those real SUV's are more solid feeling. No denying that. I just hate that how I drive so much I need something with half way decent gas mileage. I really love the first gen GX body style but those get like mid teens on the highway.

AJT123

Same here. In that Army Green color please. They should offer that in the LX too.

No way, I got low 20's on the highway in my first gen and I actually got better gas mileage on the first gen compared to my second gen. I still liked my first gen overall compared to my second gen. The tech was dated (didn't even have HIDs) but the interior materials were better. I also thought it looked better than my second gen.

xjokerz

Wait, so you actually got comparable mileage in your GX 470 compared to what an RX 350 gets?? If that's the case, it's definitely a no-brainer as to which vehicle to get.

patgilm

Sorry, I thought you were talking first gen GX to second gen GX. No way they get better gas mileage than a RX but it’s not too far off.

xjokerz

Oh lol sorry for the confusion. I figured it's only like 2 or 3 mpg difference highway driving, right?
