I traded one of my 200 for an LX (8 Viewers)

Well, the police came and deleted our previous conversation. It referenced a 200 for sale somewhere, and that is not allowed. I thought there was value, however, in the ensuing conversation about the difference between the two vehicles. At a minimum, I owed someone a response to some detailed comparison questions. I offered to address those when I have had more time with the LX. I will use this thread to do that in the future.

I am about to do the same (have a deposit in a 2-row 700OT) and would be very much interested in hearing your thoughts. I currently drive a 2020HE. This profile picture really highlights the similarities in design in the two generations - which is a good thing.

I own a 2013 200, a 2014 200 (built up as off roader) and just traded this 2019 200 which was kept stock. The LX on road feels like a Porsche compared to the 200. It is so fast. It also has so much tech that it almost drives the car for you. Even if cruise control is off, it slows down when the car in front of you slows down. It keeps you in the lane. It also yells at you if you are not looking forward. It is definitely an adjustment from the 200 which had none of this tech. So far, I miss the tailgate (I have no idea why they got rid of that), and I miss feeling like I am driving a tank, but for most people that enhanced driveability will probably be a positive. I can't wait to really use it's off road capabilities, and triple lockers, but that is probably five to ten years away.
