Yeah that’s about right. Best I got for pure highway driving on a two hour trip trying pretty hard to get the best mpg just to see what I could get was 24mpg. Not too shabby.

Why would I want to carry individual CDs around and fumble through them and swap them out when the entire world's music library at my fingertips, controlled through CarPlay streaming at CD quality or higher for $9 a month?
There's a reason why carmakers have removed CD players from basically every car and the vast. vast majority of buyers don't care. Lexus is just catering to the fringe here, just like they did hanging onto tape decks for so long.

The inclusion of the CD player does surprise me. Toyota even removed it from the Tacoma and Tundra in 2020 without a big dashboard refresh.

Says the person who has never used a lossless streaming service.

Believe it or not, having everything at your fingertips isn't a whole lot of fun. What's the point, really? It's like having millions of dollars and going out and buying any cars you want. What's the fun in it? I prefer having to search through music stations on XM radio and having CD's made up of my favorite artists. I guess I'm old school and at 32, that's kinda sad.

You can make playlists and have your own library and all on streaming platforms too. Why make CDs when that’s all right there at your fingertips
And what fun is there in buying any cars you want? Huh?!? That sounds like lots of fun.

I have tried it out. I tried Apple Loss Less
Some people like to buy a new CD from time to time. I also like to take out cds from the library. I don’t really care for streaming. I don’t see what the issue is…you can have both options in the GX and that is a good thing. They took the CD player in my new 4R and it’s something that is disappointing
I agree with you. I don’t my mind XM in my new vehicle, gonna renew it when the trial is over . I hate the XM experience from my phone and despise using it.

I wouldnt even know where to buy a CD, and I can listen to any new CD I want through the system. Right now I have 115 albums in my favorites, I can't carry 115 CDs with me everywhere.
Bottom line is, there are just very few people out there anymore that listen to CDs. CDs are like records...they have their fans but its a very niche group. It doesnt make sense for carmakers to put CD players in modern cars just to cater to this very small group.

My truck has a single slot but I bluetooth. You can also burn stuff from a CD onto a hard drive too but I haven't messed with that yet.

Are they ever going to resign this thing or just carry on with slight mods like MB has with the G Class wagon?
Also, when is Lexus going to move to an electronic transmission?

I disagree. My other car (along with many other cars I've driven) has an electronic shifter and I love them, compared to our RX's manual shifter. I'd really like Lexus to make the upgrade.

The LC, LS, new NX all have electronic shifters. They're coming.
Having electronic shifters in both of my cars, I much prefer a traditional shifter.
