[QUOTE][If you love LC or LX save extra cash, and get it. For me, I love that Sequoia is a little bit bigger, and obviously, when I'll pay 52k for Plat 4x4, I will most likely keep it on pavement 99% of times. True, there is more options in LC, but who cares? How much time do you spend in you car? is it worth all of the options, for the price tag? On the other hand, if you have lots of money, and love LC, - why cry about price?/QUOTE]
For me the price does not matter. Times have always been good in my house so I am not too worried about saving cash. What is more important about needs to me is built quality and details of the vehicle and capability.
I have no trouble trading power folding flat rear seats (I already have a truck) and independent rear suspension for something that is used all over the world in the toughest conditions. Something that has a fully indegrated nav, hvac and radio system, 4 zone climate, 28 interior vents, KDSS, 300 lb more payload (than Seqiuoa, LED
tail lights, crawl control and Japan details such as covered pillar, full 8 way power passenger seat, most airbags in any Toyota, push button start, covered seat anchors and more. The cheapness of the 2008 Seqiuoa is down right rediculous...I mean, even the base level Toyota Corolla has push button start yet the 55K Seqiuoa does not. If they would work on the interior and fully define the design and the details than I think it would be the best SUV.
I think Toyota Seqiuoa is by far the best full size North American SUV on the market when it competes against the Armada, Yukon, Expedition and Durango but there is no way that the Sequioa is a premium SUV. . I also have no doubt that the SEquioa is just a reliable as any other Toyota regardless of where it was built but I do doubt that it has the same classic design of Toyota's that were introduced to NA consumers before cost cutting took place and cheap interiors took place.
. I guess others disagree.
