More cargo room in the E70 X5

[Kewl X5]

Okay, here is my first hand impression about the E70 X5 again. I got back from a trip earlier this month and my salesguy picks us up in a new E70 X5. The first thing I noticed when I load up the cargo area with our baggage is that how much more cargo room the new E70 X5 has compared with the E53 X5. This is with the 3rd row seat folded down and the 2nd row still up.

That has been the most embarassing thing about the E53 X5 is the lack of cargo space for the size of the X5. I realized most of the space in the E70 was realized with dropping the spare tire, but the extra space was most definitely welcome.

One thing I noticed is that I perfer the more dampened ride of the sports package E70 vs. the non-sport packaged E70. The non-sport packaged E70 seems to be tailor made for Lexus would-be buyers.

I really don't care about the red turn signals. Heck, E90 sedans have red turn signals, but people are buying them. Love the E70 angel eyes design...
