No more similar than any other two similar size and style vehicles. There are only so many ways to arrange the shape and lights on the rear of a vehicle.

Those look nothing like a Tahoe or Denali, I don't think people would confuse those with Sequoyah.

But if Toyota had decided to orient the lights up and down people would say it looks like a Tahoe or Yukon. Like I said, only so many ways to lay out the design of a big flat hatch.

Nobody will confuse a Grand Wagoneer and a Sequoia either. The shape of the rear is very different, the GW is really flat in the back, has the big thick chrome trim around the windows, lights are totally different...

Do you see the cost cutting in that decal compared to the new gen?

Like I said I saw a Sequoia out, I didn't have a lot of time but it didn't look awesome like the ones in the pictures. It must have been a lower trim.

I don't really see the similarities either. I saw a GW in person yesterday and have sat in one at a dealership. I was blown away by the interior but I really dislike the exterior styling (especially from the side and back). In contrast, I really like the looks of the new Sequoia (Capstone trim) though I haven't seen one in person.

We need a nice juicy comparison test from one of the pros for the big BOF boys. That will be fun to read.

I’m willing to bet the Sequoia will not win any comparisons. Will finish last

None of the marketing talk about adjustable shelves, flat floors, and nifty cargo partitions can make up for the lack of usable space."
They go on and on about poor handling, terrible 3rd row seats, primitive 4WD system, poorly designed controls, etc.
