    The fact that the hybrid max can't be had with a three place second row is a deal breaker for my family of five because sometimes we need maximum cargo space and to seat five and we often haul lots of kids around. I don't understand why Toyota and Lexus won't sell you top trim cars with more than four seats in the first two rows. Honda and Acura seem to get it.

      I have it. It's great. I would NOT get the base though. The GH Platinum is better than the TX base. As for naveen...ignore them. They troll every toyota/lexus GH/TX forum, yt vid, etc posts out there. Is the TX perfect? Nope. BMW and Merc have some beautiful interiors, but not the space. You can also get them with v6/v8 but they WILL cost more for comparable features and options. In my opinion they ride about the same, but BMW's would drive better and Merc's are much quieter. Lexus is the all around good at a lot, but only best in reliability. Jack of all trades, master of none. It's the balanced middle. It will bum you out in some places, and make you smile in others. BMW/Merc pull out your hair with stupid repairs, and you eventually trade it in for a Lexus or Acura, unless you're super rich and you just get a new one every two years anyways, like the Range Rover folks...cause that's pure garbage.

    It makes absolutely ZERO sense to buy this thing (unless you can get it for $30K or less and that's me being generous). Everyone I know who got suckered into buying one these, hates them. And one of them had to have the turbos replaced already before 50K. Toyota tried to fight them and say it was neglect but they had all the receipts from oil changes and basic routine maintenance stuff and then they had to get a lawyer. A total nightmare like the one I went through when I had to sue TOYota over my Corolla that didn't even have 80K. 🙄
