If yes, then:
1) What features do they have?
2) I wish they will add to the Sequoias an ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE feature like the Land Cruiser and the LX570.
3) A Start Button wold certainly be a nice luxury feature!
4) How about a longer version too for the Long "XL" version?
5) A second Moon Roof would be a wow...for me? <Should I order a custom-made one for me only?!>
6) I guess above all...what price tag would it have?
Thank you all for your feedback and comments...

There is no difference between the AWD feature of the LX or LC and the 4wd Hi mode of the Sequoia. When you have a 4wd Sequoia set to 4wd hi (without the ctr differential locked), you will be running in AWD. With the Torsen center differential you will have a minimum of 32% of the engine's torque running the front wheels with a limited slip that enables the vehicle to run in this setting in all conditions (wet or dry) at any speed.
Not sure why you would view the LX/LC drivetrain as significantly different from the Sequoia's. In fact, they are nearly identical (same engine, slightly different ctr differential) and IMO I would say the Sequoia has a better set-up since you have the option of 2wd which is not available in the LX/LC. The only advantage the LX/LC drivetrain has over the Sequoia is the electronically controlled slow speed "crawler" mode if you're planning to do rock climbing (hard to imagine anyone taking a $70-80K new LC/LX out rock climbing).
I'd rather have the option of 2wd (Sequoia) any day over the slow-speed electronic throttle control rock climbing mode of the LX/LC.
