  This video is going to make a lot of GX460 owners really, really happy about they're investment. I'm surprised Lexus cheaped out like this.

  Lexus is going the wrong direction with small turbo engines, plastic interiors, and less premium feel with higher costs.

  I am so so sad that I sold my GX460. The leather and materials in that car were just spot on and like you said, made you feel like you're driving something special. I remember getting in it for the first time, that leather was so soft. I'm between cars right now and have a GX550 arriving in a couple of weeks and no longer even want to take delivery. It's a sad time to be shopping. Might just go pick up a 22 or 23 GX and put my head in the sand for the next 20 years.

  The cost of a new Toyota Tacoma is in Lexus territory.

  GREAT video. I work in sales for this brand and you’re spot on about the changing demographic. I’m all for Lexus making an off roader but I can tell you from what I’ve seen of 550 sales, the buyers are very different. GXs used to be sold in cash to people who knew exactly what they would cost. Almost every new 550 buyer has traded in some non-luxury SUV or truck that we have to send to auction, can’t give them top dollar on, and they’re being leased or financed at astronomical monthlys and long loan terms. That historically is not the Lexus customer and is not the customer who’s going to come back to Lexus for their next car.

  Excellent review.  This is the first one I've seen pointing out cheapening in materials etc.  Appreciated.

  I purchased the lexus gx 460 2023 with your recommendation. I'm so happy with this purchase and I look forward to many years of enjoying it with myself and son. Thank you being so informative Josh! I get what you're saying about the quality and technical issues you mention.

  Continuous improvement.  Lets hope Lexus gets the memo and they improve the 550 and make it more worthy of the Lexus name.

  Detailed take on the 550, well done, I can almost feel riding it as well the way you describe it. Thank you.

  Just got a GX460 23 Luxury Sport and this makes me so much more confident in my decision. It’s the smoothest car I’ve ever been in

  Just purchased a 23 GX 460 Premium, and this makes me a proud owner.

  I'm so glad your videos convinced me to grab a 460 two months ago when stocks were dwindling.  Thank you for making such informative videos.
