I love the V 8 GX last year model. Do you recommend it? Do you think Lexus will have new SUV models coming out soon?
I am looking for a little luxury and comfort in driving. I had a Solara v6 -loved that engine! I currently drive a Subaru Outback, its okay, but not a fan of the 4 cylinder, but it is alot better than my VW Beetle that drives like a golf cart.
I dont need a huge SUV, but I really would like a little more power.
Love your videos; I have learned a lot. Kinda scary too, a lot to think about.

Lexus ES
GX460 is a great, reliable SUV. However, I would also look at the new GX550 (if you have $70K to burn and/or you get good money out of the Subaru). The problems with the V6 mainly affect the Tundra and LX600. Plus, the turbo V6 has more power and torque than the V8. Paired with the 10-speed transmission, fuel mileage for the GX550 will be better than that of the GX460.
For $2K more, I would try out the TX500h. It's a hybrid, but it's a performance hybrid. This hybrid system is dubbed "Hybrid Max" in Toyota models and the TX500h is two seconds quicker 0-60 than the TX350, clocking in at 6.3 seconds (versus 8.1 seconds for the TX350). Plus, the 500h gets better fuel mileage than the 350 because it's a hybrid.
Wishing you the best of luck in your search. Hope this guidance helps.
