Back to the GX, I watched a YouTube video that showed the poser luxury version and the interior looked really good. The two toned seats looked good too. That is the one that I would get, no off-road version for me and the area behind third row was much better than the prior gen.

I think you can border on having too much info. displayed at once. My 992 Carrera S had so much that you had to tilt your head or move to see it all. It did look cool if you weren't trying to look at it driving. I like the IS 350 F Sport I have because I can glance down and quickly see what I need fast. Everything is front and center. More like a motorcycle. Sometimes simple just works. I don't need navigation or album cover art in there. How many screens do you need nav in? Some cars look like they have 3 now for the two front passengers! Pretty soon you will have navigation screens in the third row LOL.
I think the gx’s can be designed better. But that’s my opinion. I wonder if the compass area can be used to display different things.

I'm really surprised how little discussion there is about the Over Trail edition or offroad capabilities of any model, i.e., ground clearance, approach, breakover and departure angles, 35" tires, rock sliders, planned modifications, winch bumpers, air compressor mounting, roof top tents, you know, stuff non-posers think about.

Sorry been very busy today so didn’t get a chance to link the video. Fast forward past the tan off road version and you will see the dark gray GX. Looks good to me and even shows a second row climate control panel. Also shows the nice digital gauge cluster that looks configurable. I didn’t see that this video showed the cargo space with the third row seats up and it doesn’t show all the two tone interior options so I will have to find those videos. I was just cranking through a bunch last night on my tv.
