Default Re: 2008 Toyota Sequoia interior....What a shame

It's great looking on Paper but I doubt I would conside this a Luxury Branded product. Toyota really doesnt define that to me either but Lexus doesn't have anything close to the 3rd row of seat's like the power in the floor like your seq has. For what the Limited Seq has it's not a big deal breaker in my book either when I can buy an sr5 and save. The Plat is overpriced in a market that is somewhat now dead in sales.Toyota is rather late in this game but i guess the trim is more suited on the lines to a Gmc Yukon Denail owner or Eddie Baurer/King ranch buyer seeking a little more fancy Options.
I have to say I'm confused by the entire discussion around "luxury suvs". I for one, could afford a Range Rover, LX570, Cayenne... hell even a $120K G-Wagon if that was the best vehicle with the most luxury that met my needs. I've shopped them all and wanted as much luxury as I could get and at the same time as much space, comfort, luxury features and towing capacity as possible.

I'd love to know what edmunds uses as their criteria for the 34 suv models they list as "luxury suvs". I find the Platinum Sequoia to be more luxurious, with more luxury features than about 80% of the models on their list. (BTW how on earth does the Hummer H3 get classified as a "Luxury suv"?)

How do you like the red rock's leather interior? My friend has that on his Tundra Crewmax Limited and I liked that level of trim too which has growen on me now from flaming to red hot chill peppar
I was unsure about the Red Rock/Black carpeting until I took delivery. Having owned multiple BMWs I would now take this interior leather and color scheme over even my past 740iL. I think with a few tastefully placed real wood accents, the overall interior of this Sequoia will be superb, at least IMO.

P.s Word of advice I would get a screen saver on your Factory Dvd based navigation system.I have a screen saver on mine and it cut's the glare out and people can not stratch it.
Where'd you get your screen saver and are some brands better than others for seeing from the angle in the Sequoia?
