Pleased to hear universally positive comments about the interior quality, materials, and fit and finish. While I don't love the interior design, knowing Lexus stayed true to their roots on quality and detail is music to my ears.
I still absolutely love how the exterior looks and it seems like everyone else does too. There's something I like about every trim which would make it kind of hard to choose which to purchase.
I am surprised with some comments around it being even softer and more disconnected than the GX 460. As a GX 460 owner, that seems hard to do (lol) and ironic with Lexus' recent trend of being a bit more driver focused. For example, the transition from LX 570 to LX 600 made the LX 600 feel and handle like a performance car in comparison. 3GX going the other direction is not what I was expecting, but I know a lot of folks love that classic smooth Lexus ride, and softer suspension also helps offroad.
I know these are prototypes, so I hope the comments around sloppy transmission shifting, drivetrain vibration and engine roughness/noise are improved for the production vehicles. At the same time, the V35A-FTS has been disappointing in those areas to me personally, but I'm hoping Lexus has continued to improve tuning as it goes into the GX.
Savagegeese's review title "Best effort since the LC" does indeed seem true. Smash hit for Lexus.
