    I look forward to the end of the huge wheels trend. 22 inch wheels on a family wagon is stupid. Worse mileage, worse ride, worse longevity, and more expensive to replace.

      Idk bout the majority, but my TX 500h has 22 inch and the ride is pretty comfortable. Now, u dont have to get 22s, opt for lower option and get smaller wheels. The 22s TX 350s are in the Luxury trim, which has better suspension tuned for comfort than the non Luxry ones

    Finally the Muzio family has incorporated the famous "Low Five" into the final seconds of the show..! Introduced decades ago during his radio days, multiple low fives quickly become a traditional happy dance...but that often requires additional tequila and slices of lime. Thanks for reviving this salute to silliness. Long live the Low Five.

    As an owner of Honda's V6 Passport, I was really impressed with the power of this turbo engine when I drove the TX. Plenty of power off the line and effortless doing 80 mph+ with 3 adults,1 kid and lots of stuff in the cargo area.

    Lexus really has got to step up their interior game. No wood or metallic trim, not enough leather or stitching on the dash and doors, kind of cheap tacked on screen look, and too much plastic stuff. Lexus made better interiors in the yesteryears.

    About the weird ‘Lane Trace Assist’ and it being related to ‘ambient light’. I wouldn’t be surprised because it seems to also happen with ‘auto braking’. I have noticed the tendency to auto brake when the sun reflects off pooling water on the road in front of you.

    One problem I have with the front grille is it’s similarity to the new Toyota Crown, Toyota Prius (strong upper horizontal element, fading to body grille) As polarizing as the Lexus spindle grille was, at least it was an identifiable look. At first glance, without the badging, someone who doesn’t know their Lexus vehicles wouldn’t have guessed this was a luxury car, let alone a Lexus.

    I own the Grand Highlander, and I agree. The Toyota is better than the Lexus version, but if anyone wants the plugin hybrid, they have to go with the Lexus. I'm looking forward to what Toyota and Lexus do with this platform in the future. One last thing: as much as I enjoy the Grand Highlander, it's a BIG BOI, and for a small family of 3, it's a bit much for us. What would you recommend for a sensible vehicle (SUV, wagon, sedan) for a small family that does the occasional road trip? I've been thinking about the Subaru Outback and the RAV4 Hybrid. I'm not a big fan of luxury vehicles because you can get luxury features in non-luxury cars. If Subaru came out with a hybrid Outback, oh man, take my money!!!
