Sorry man. It is just my observation that most Lexus owners don't really know, or even care to know, anything about cars. They just want something big and luxurious. Lexus truck based SUV's are very much on the same page as the Escalade and QX. Insert that big, in your face, old school American taste for a luxury status symbol here. This is exactly why you are getting more of a "wow" factor with the Lexus. Vehicles like this are a constant reminder of American SUV tastes from a decade ago, imo.
