2011 GX460 - Amazingly Inferior Sound System
I listen to music occasionally, but do have a taste to distinguish between something that just makes sound vs something that sounds good. We just bought a new 2011 GX460, and unfortunately did not test the audio system using a standard quality recorded song before buying like my iPod or standard audio CD. Both my old sub 40k cars had fantastic music system compared to this. For the price we pay for this car, its amazing Lexus manages to get away with providing a third grade audio system. The sytem sounds horribly hollow or bassy at best, no matter how much you adjust the treble/mid/bass controls. I have complained to the dealer and they said they will give it a shot. Stay Tuned...
Amazing!
I had a lexus ES 350 and traded it in for the new GX. Not kidding, this vehicle is quieter and smoother then my 07 ES. The outside is starting to grow on me, but the interior is perfect. I have been test driving and researching for over a year and came back to the comfort,reliability and luxery Lexus gives its customers for the price. The 3rd row is pretty much useless however, with it folding down flat, its not an issue for me.

Great Car With Some Minor Exceptions
After reading the other reviews there isn't much to contribute other than I really am enjoying this car. The only objection I have with it is that it doesn't come with the body side molding on the non- Premium edition. I think it looks rather plain with out it, but I am currently researching how to get it. The other minor objection I have is the amount of plastic used in the cockpit.....TOO MUCH. It still has a very warm and inviting feeling, the instruments are well displayed and everything works great. The plastic used in the armrest makes me think it will break soon. Hopefully it will be covered under warranty if it does.
GX460 Unmatched quality, luxury and durability.
The GX460 isn't for everyone, it has strong and distinct set of characteristics. It's powerful yet quiet. What I loved most about the vehicle was its ability to silver strong and immediate power to the drivetrain. The extra weight this has over similar sized vehicles gives it a bit more body lean in turns, but it's a confident and fun to drive vehicle. It's not very fuel efficient, but this is a rugged truck based SUV that can become a trusted member of the family. They don't make them like this anymore!

A Great SUV
I previous had a '05 Lexus GX470 and find this SUV much improved in almost every way. I am completely satisfied with my ownership experience but find some of the plastics on the dash below Lexus standard. The engine is very smooth, quiet, and unexpectedly, this GX drives much sportier than the previous generation. I really enjoy the Bluetooth streaming audio and huge center console. Small details make this vehicle better every time I get in such as the whizzing motors of the windows/sunroof that slow to close and improved voice recognition software. I will most likely purchase another Lexus/Toyota product.
