Well my reasoning is people have been asking for a Lexus version of a MDX, something bigger than the RX. I doubt they are gonna try to compete with 90k+ suvs with a fwd turbo 4. No one will buy a TX over a X7 or GLS. We got 2 more weeks about till we see what the GH is, then we can for sure know where this TX will be

Guys
It's a very simple
TX / GHL will be the fullsize unibody CUV
Where LX/LCj300/Sequoia are the fullsize BOF SUV
Above both are the Century
And below both are
Prado/4Runner/GX/Fortuner for the mid BOF SUV
And
Crown Estate/Crown sport/RX/Highlander for the mid unibody
Then RAV4/NX/Venza for small
Finally the UX/BZ2/CH-R at the other smallest end of the spectrum

But anything labelled as (mini-) van will not sell. So it will have to be dressed up with large wheels & tires, lifted suspension and plastic lower body cladding.

Nah, GLS and X7 are RWD-based. Not going to happen. If it beats the MDX and Q60 in terms of performance then it's all good. The bar that the X7 has set performance-wise is insanely high.

@F1 Silver Arrows , we are talking about dimensions
On paper LX can't match Bentayga, Culinan, Range Rover and many more
Category wise is not measured by HP/ torque figures

We also have the 2024 Mazda CX-90 unveiling happening soon! So, that'll be another RWD-based SUV that's supposed to get the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the CX-60, a new 340hp turbo inline-6, and an updated 8-speed skyactiv transmission. It may not be as big as an X7/GLS/TX, but it could be close.

Wait, wait, so you are saying you have seen one inside and out already??
What Mike is saying is he has not only seen the TX, he has sat his ass in it as well. Would not be surprised if he has spoken to the Chief Engineer of the TX and maybe even taken the TX for a spin already.
Mike is on a whole different level with the Lexus folks compared to the rest of us here

Posted numerous times that would really love the Grand Highlander or TX to be larger and roomier (minimum Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon size). Sounds like this is 99.99% not happening.
Hauling 5 plus a lot of gear leaves really nothing in the Toyota/Lexus family. We own a 2016 Sienna Limited AWD and it is insanely loud at freeway speeds, almost like there is speakers pumping the sound of air-whooshing by directly into your ears. And the front seats and front legroom are garbage.
Shoot. Mike, if you're such a BFD, help TMC/Lexus make something to truly compete with the Suburbans, Yukons, etc...

Guys it's not a genie lamp here
Sequoia has the right size as a true offroader SUV , yes I know it's a direct expedition, Yukon and Durango competitor and rival as all are BOF truck based
But while the American put their trucks towards long journey on-road trips with bad approach/ departure angles, Toyota put the Sequoia more towards off-road trips with lil bit shorter wheelbase and better angles
