I think LC would be more like a halo car and it's a big deal for toyota, while Sequoia is to compete with dosmetic trucks such as GMC YUKON etc.
I'd take LC any day over Sequoia.

I think Sal Collaziano is talking about the GX and LX as the two mid-size SUV's. The Sequoia is truly a full-size SUV it's evern bigger than the previous Expedition by a few inches here and there.
I would take the LX and a full-size SUV which we are still waiting for from Lexus any day...

I still find it hard to believe the LC will be a new design for 2007 MY. Maybe a spring 2007 release of a 2007/2008 model after the auto shows, but I just don't see a fall 2006 (2007 MY) arrival. JMO and I hope I am wrong.

here is some news toyota still has 06 lc and lx being made and are on order for customers; so the new model is way off. the new tundra is gonna get a the marketing for a while so it looks like at least summer or fall 07 for the new model.

I hope Toyota doesn't drop the LX/LC, but I think its likely, since the FJ Crusier captures the classic LC idea and image. Originally, the LC was a go anywhere, do anything kind of vehicle, not the plush leather and woodtrim covered SUV its become. It seems likely that the LX will become a Sequoia based vehicle . Hopefully, they will improve the Sequoia to meet the quality of the LX/LC. That's my 2 cents.

Next LX will be a 470/570
Last spring, I was told lights out on the cruiser and the LX would be the deal. More recently, while comming back from Thailand, I suspect the Sequoia will share a lot with the LX. I did see an actual photo of a blue SUV w. a Toy logo that matched the white pic. Bigger and more juice. Toy wants everyone getting a truck V8 to feel the power.
