Just said goodbye to the Good Ole Girl
Sad to say, I traded in the GX last weekend.
I will say, she was a great truck. I really hoped I would upgrade to the new LX, but the styling is aweful!
Anyway, I could never leave the Toyota/Lexus family, so I traded her in for an 08 Sequoia Platinum.
Thanks for everything over the years. I'm still kicking around in the LS forums.
BTW...had to return the truck to stock, so I've got some posts in the classifieds forum.

Fortunately, now is a great time to buy a large SUV. Most dealerships are heavily discounting them, and to be honest, the Sequoia gets the same gas milage that my GX did!
The biggest reason for going bigger is really the space issue. I'm over 6' tall. Having passengers in the second row (we won't even talk about the third row) of my GX was an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. In addition, my husband and I are starting a family. I really wanted a vehicle with more 2nd row space for a carseat, and my GX was not equipped with the latch system (only the teathers).
As for the Sequoia, I love it! Toyota really did a great job with it. Of course, you're missing some of the comforts of a Lexus, but I just couldn't spend the extra money on the LX and hate the styling.
