Today, I went and did a short drive in a demo Luxury+ GX. First off, the doors sounded fine. I really like the size of the vehicle. It feels a bit smaller than my 200, especially in the cargo area. The technology is far and away better than the 200 and the previous GX. I was impressed how quiet it runs. It has good power, but a little turbo lag when I punched it.
The leather and finish is much tighter than the 200, so hopefully will not wear like the 200. The interior was the Saddle tan. I am a little disappointed I can't get that in the OT. The exterior was Nori Green and absolutely beautiful. I am having second thoughts about my Caviar (black) selection. I was short on time so did not get to fool with everything I wanted to. I like the vehicle and can't wait for mine (ship date was moved up so I should be in mine before 5/22). Ask me anything.
Ok - what don’t you like about your 200?
I’m torn between choosing a recent low mile 200 or a 250.
600? or 570?
For me, fuel economy and the ancient head unit. I’ve got about 100k on mine and had to replace the rear wheel bearings. That turned out to be a very expensive job. Now the AC has stopped blowing cold. I’m taking it to my mechanic on Wednesday but I predict it won’t be cheap.
I wish the radar cruise control worked to 0 mph. My commute takes 1 hour to go 15 miles, 1/2 of it on an interstate which is often bumper to bumper.
570. If I don't like my GX, I will trade up for a 600 for her and drive the 570
I hear you. n=1 here but believe it or not the PPF that the dealership did (or had done) came out better than the ppf that the shop did that specializes in it. After two weeks they had to remove it and start all over. The part the dealership did looks perfect, good cut lines, good coverage, no bubbles. Tint is tint, it's as good as it ever needs to be.

Just got a text from the dealership in SC, they've got a First Edition LC 250 I can put a deposit on. Will be here in 25 days.

Where were you able to look this up? Or was it just a photo of your dealer's computer?

Posted in the other picture thread...anyone got a line on an extended factory warranty not being offered at a total gouging price?!?
I drove a Luxury+ around the dealer parking lot today. It had the stupid 22” wheels. In general, I liked it. The V6 has a lot of power and it seems quiet and comfortable. The front of the hood is quite high, so view over the hood isn’t great. I didn’t try moving the seat higher — that might mitigate that somewhat. Second row room felt similar to my 200. The cargo area loses several inches in height due to the third row. The center screen seemed to have a very high resolution, it was quite crisp and clear. I’m still not a fan of the HVAC controls being on the screen.
