A "new" used Land Cruiser?

The Macan is a very small SUV. But it handles like a sports car. Going from that to a truck might feel weird for her. I think the GX might be a better option being smaller. My buddy's wife had a Macan and he got her an X5M and she loves it. Bigger and still fast.
 
It’s blasphemy, I know, but I would also be looking for late model GX460s with the updated head units that come with Apple CarPlay
 
A LC will "limp" very imperceptibly even without prescribed maintenance. Therein lies the beauty of the beast.
 
Lots of "wives" driving the new Prado 250 and the dudes keeping the 200 for themselves. The 250 (or new GX550) is the perfect replacement for a 5th gen 4runner or the old GX460 - which women seem to love more than make-up. Most I have seen do not seem to like the hefty feeling of the 200 (either LC or LX) and prefer something lighter. Enter the GXs.
This. Get her GX460. My wife loves her 2023 GX.

Sit high. Yet easy to get into with the running boards. Super reliable. Lexus interior and materials. No fancy high-maintenance suspension like LX AHC. Good ride. Quiet. Apple CarPlay. Even the base audio system sounds good!

Only bad thing is fuel economy but it is no worst than any LC200. It does use premium gas though. :(

Oh one more thing…the fake leather vinyl Lexus use is amazing…I would argue that it is better than the semi-aniline in my LC!
