Congrats on the new purchase. Our GX is now 3 weeks old and I try to borrow it from my wife whenever I can. My in-laws picked up the same color combo as you over the summer. After driving that a few times and even taking it on a road trip, my wife and I were convinced that a GX was going to replace her Expedition (we needed something that can tow a 5,500 lb boat). I love my RX, but there's just something about the smooth ride and the V8 in the GX.
I think you hit the nail on the head for this one, since I too like our RX330, but upon test driving the GX, there is something so sweet about that smooth V8 that you start to desire it more and more and you just don't care about Gas Mileage anymore!

Nice to see I wasn't crazy to like the GX so quickly. Wife's on call tomorrow night, so I'm taking it out in the City.

I'm picking up my baby tomorrow, should I request Michelin Cross-Terrain tires . I know some 04's came with Bridgestone's instead and people didn't seem to be very happy about them.

Thanks,
orclex

Michelin Cross Terrains are great tires, but can the dealer actually swap out tires for you on delivery? I would assume that what you see is what you get? Keep us updated if you actually have to do this and are successful. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, Allison had the tire swap to the Cross Terrains as part of the contract.
