Default 2024 Ride?

Does anyone know if the suspension in the 24 is softer than the previous two years? Highway driving was never an issue, but city driving was a little harsh for my liking in the prior two years.

Former President Akio raced on the Nurburgring with his friend former Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez.
Bez who is accustomed to financial losses is very jealous of TMC’s success with $200 billion dollars in equity, so he tells Akio that TMC makes boring cars.

Hence, when former President Akio took over the reigns, he pledged “No more boring cars”, and that’s why the current Lexus NX uses such firm suspension.

Only new incoming TMC President Koji Sato can turn the wheels, but as of yet, there is no evidence that he will change direction - unless consumer feedback forces a change, or sales stall.

In the past, I recommended Lexus to family and friends, but these days, I no longer recommend Lexus to family nor friends because of former President Akio’s gullible behavior to force sports suspension and SUV’s onto consumers with no luxury suspension nor sedan option available.

Btw, it is possible for you to retrofit Toyota RAV4 suspension of the same era - which seems to be softer - have you investigated changing the four coils, four shock absorbers, and the front and rear roll bars?
