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.

It will grow on me, but right now I'm slightly underwhelmed - visually are cool, but reminds me a bit of land rovers-ish. removes the V8 but no marginal improvement on mileage; interior looks less luxurious than the previous models upon first glance; and undoubtedly the new one will likely cost 8%-15% more than the old ones if you use Sequoia increases as a starting point.
Again, I'll come around, but I'm currently definitely NOT regretting waiting for this v. buying my 2022. Let the friendly bashing of my critique begin![](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

My '23 Prem+ Sport Design arrived last Friday. Nightfall Mica, with new version of gray Sepia. The exterior color looks like an India ink black/blue, then flips to deep metallic blue in bright sun. Same kind of flip with my '21 Claret Mica. (we now have red, white and blue GX's) I wasn't anticipating an discernable difference in driving experience, but am very surprised at the feel of the '23 vs my '21. I swear my butt o' meter senses some recalibration of the suspension and brake master cylinder. It seems to handle expansion strips and sharper bumps much softer and the brake pedal seems a bit higher and much more sensitive than either my '21 (exact same option packages) or my '16 Prem. (That has aniline leather trim...still has that beautiful leather smell, even after seven years!)
Will ride these out until I can drive a 550. As mentioned by many, will probably have to purchase at least a Luxury or even the Overtrail models to retain some of the "standard" options currently in the P+...such as Mark Levinson, KDSS, headlamp washers, and I know I'm forgetting something else. In any case, I'm looking forward to driving a 550 whenever they become available, and if they're as great as they sound like they may will be, then I'll be trading in one of my 460's.

You just captured my thoughts on the new GX. I currently have two--a '16 and a '21 and am totally torn. I think they accomplished trying to mimic a Defender, albeit with much higher quality. I would like to DRIVE one before committing. Wife just made my day--supports getting the last of the current breed and waiting until the bugs are worked out of the re-designed GX. Will be a three GX family!

I really, really don't like that interior at all. And I hadn't honestly looked it up close, because admittedly I love the way it looks outside. However, you spend your time INSIDE the car and that interior is crap and this thing will be at least as expensive as the current one, which is old but very luxurious inside. You pointed out how sparse the new one is inside, lol.
We have decided on LC500 convertible in a few years instead once they come down to about 80 grand. We have enough SUVs in this family, and you can't have too many convertibles IMO.

Honestly the interior matches the mission of the vehicle IMO, I agree that any wood trim should be real or shouldn't exist, but that wouldn't cause me to do a 180 on the vehicle...especially not a vehicle like this. Its not a "luxurious" vehicle...

Hah I’ve thought of you. It’ll be a couple years, how we usually do.
However, tell me why you prefer the coupe over the convertible?
I'm just curious. "Why not make it a top down experience" is my reasoning. It looks almost as pretty as your coupe with the top up.

Oh man, I know it's off-topic, but I wanted to say plus-one on getting the LC Convertible if possible. The coupe is lighter and a little sportier for that reason, but the total experience of driving with the top down as the 2UR-GSE rev-match down-shifts is nothing short of perfection.
Back on topic, I don't really think the new GX is going to be that much better to make 2021-2023 owners to jump ship (it some ways, like the LX 600 it may even take a step backwards)... But if it's priced right, I think it, and the Land Cruiser, are going to be overall very good at outdoor adventuring, and bigger hits than the outgoing models thanks to the rugged design and new powerplant.
