Yeah, I am going to be a bit more patient here and wait for the atomic silver sports package that I wanted and be more flexible with the interior color selection. If not, odds are it will take much longer to find the exact int/ext color combo i wanted.
I am guessing that its been about 6 months that the 2023 GX started production. Anyone know what month do they stop production before they retool everything for the next year's model?

The 2022 GX is about perfection to me personally.

... Agree ... amazing how connectivity these days IS the criteria. It's a vehicle ... not an entertainment center. My attitude ... watch the road and stop F'ing around with being "connected" ... a complete distraction and a danger to society.
My take ... insurance companies have missed a major opportunity ... to up-charge insurance premiums based on connectivity features. Premiums historically have been elevated for high-performance vehicles ... but at least most of those drivers are engaged and paying attention to what is happening around them ... they purchased their vehicle for the driving experience.
I now have truck horns installed ... to bust connected drivers out of their stupor ... to wake them up before they inflict their connected lifestyle on innocent drivers.

The infomat in our 2019 is a complete joke, and it was since we bought it as anyone on this site knows... That said, it's not why we bought the GX, we bought it because I didn't want to spend 40k more for a Land Cruiser 200 with an even worse Infomat 
we love ours the way it is.. I would not mind a 2023 though with the updated system though.

The fact is that Lexus is considered a "Luxury" brand so having an infotainment system from 2010 just isn't acceptable to most people spending $60K+ on a brand new vehicle in this decade when you can get a $20K Kia with better technology. Most buyers of the GX don't care about it's off-road capabilities.
I think the massage chairs and stuff like that is just stupid in a vehicle, however, some people feel it's very important and it's their money to spend on a vehicle to meet their wants/needs.
The thing that made me really not want a GX prior to 2022 was the fact that there weren't any physical controls to adjust the climate control....that was just a stupid decision on the part of Lexus and should never have happened.
