2006BMWx5 is on a distinguished road
Just purchased a 2010 GX460 Platinum Pkg

I still have the X5 wifey is driving it now. I just picked up a 2010 GX460 platinum package...much different ride than the X5. The Gx will be used mainly for business purposes and the X5 has replaced the 04 RX330 for her and the kids as well as that is what we will use on the weekends. So far love the GX...this is 2nd Lexus...I wanted the RX450h, but the tax incentinves for me it made much more sense to look at the GX...it is over 6,400 lbs. I drove the GX the whole week and got back in the X5 this weekend and can say that I missed driving the X5...it is so much fun and my wife loves the way it rides too. She liked the RX330 and it was a great SUV...but I know that she likes the X5 more...I washed and waxed it this weekend for her and wouldn't you know it she has already managed to get a little curb rash on the right front rim... Got to give her a little credit though when I asked her how she did it...she said she was trying to park closer to the curb so no one would hit her doors!

Anyway here are a few pics of my new GX.

I don't personally find it very aesthetically pleasing but if it rides like other Lexus SUV's, I'm sure it is smooth and comfortable.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Not a real fan of Lexus due to handling but it is a nice looking truck and it should be very reliable.

Was this the model that needed the stability control reprogrammed?

Nice ride. Lexus makes pretty good cruisers. I have never been in the new gx but I am sure the ride is supple. We have had an rx300 in the family for 10 years and its still a nice ride. Nothing wrong with having another truck on the side haha As far as the lexus being more bling (wow), there is some truth in that it is a status cruiser...but hey so is the x, just in a diff way. This bad boy has off road mixed with luxury and our x's have sport mixed with luxury

Looks clean and sharp. Don't know if I personally would have pulled the trigger on it after CR publicized the tipping and stability problem with this vehicle. With the way I like to take off-ramps, I would likely flip it over at the first opportunity...

Congrats if it makes you happy. I personally couldn't get excited about it, but to each his own.
