If I only had money... 
Hey you're right, I was just sitting in my truck. I'm almost 6' 2" and I have the seat all the way back. If I was any taller things would get uncomfortable on long trips.
I thought I saw a thread where somebody adjusted their seat so it would go back further. Not sure if that was a 100 or 80. If you have clients in your car that won't work, their knees would be in their chest.

I guess everyone is different... although I'm only 6' and 175, I wear a 34x36 in Levi's so I'm mostly legs. And I don't have my seat all the way back. But I prefer to sit more upright than some people do so that might make a difference.
If the LC is too small, get a sequoia.

I wear a 34x34, so you've got me on leg length but I've got you by more on torso. I have to have the seat lowered all the way down and moved all the way back to have any resemblance of comfort. It's OK, but not enough leg length for me when the seat is low. Any higher, and my head touches the head liner.
I drove an Obsidian Black GS 450h at lunch. Nice car, and I actually fit better in it than in the LC. Only problem is that w/ the seat all the way back in it, it has slightly less leg room for rear passengers. Also, the truck is TINY for the size of the car due to the batteries. Drive and feel is very impressive, but then again, it IS a Lexus. MPG on the interstate was hovering around 28-30 at 70MPH. Cruising around on surface streets (stop and go) at 30MPH was all-electric.
I could buy that GS and sell the LC, and pocket over $250/month in extra cabbage from the lower payment and lower fuel bills... Dayum.
If I did that, I'd still have to have a truck for a "toy", but I wouldn't care if MPG were in the single digits b/c I'd only drive it when I wanted.
Co-worker has a Gray Platinum w/ the Clay Leather. Nice truck, but it's so damn wide it's difficult to park in "normal" lots.

Checking the numbers, it looks like the GS beats the LC on front legroom by over 1.5" and in the rear by more than 1". In other words, I can have the room I need up front, but don't really sacrifice any rear passenger room. Going to be looking hard at some over the next few weeks. The way it looks right now, I could end up around $4k to the good every year if I went w/ an 07/08 GS 450h compared to keeping the LC. Worth considering... The crazy thing is that the GS weighs in at 5200-lbs and has 340HP, yet gets a consistent 28+ MPG both city and highway. Sounds like the 3.5L V6 + Hybrid would be an awesome fit in a NA spec SUV. I'm surprised they don't have an option for this in the LX.

5200lbs has to be gross weight, not curb weight.
