Like Heatwave, I have had multiple SUV's, luxury cars etc. and the Seq nails it on every meaniful aspect. The debate vs. the LC seems rooted in sentimental affection. (sorry Page). I had a Land Cruiser and it's nice but there are just too many substantive reasons why the Seq is just an all around better vehicle. Sorry to burst your bubble Page, but Heat is spot on regarding the demise of the LC. The good news is Page that given your sentimental attachment to the LC, hurry and buy one (or another one if you already have one), put it in storage as it will one day be a nice rare collectable. Heat, I have yet to see you on 78... don't let me keep hogging the stares of envy as I go ripping by the all the annoying 18 wheelers in my luxurious black Sequoia Platinum !!! |
Its good to see I'm not alone in my view of the Sequoia. I think if gas goes to $4/gal then large suvs will be under significant pressure. The remaining buyers will be those with a real need for a large, comfortable, people moving capabilities with significant towing ability. The rest of the "large" suv buyers will move to minivans and smaller x-over suvs. In the end, I think the Sequoia could end up as beneficiary giving real large suv buyer's the most luxury, performance, space, flexibility and capability for the $.
I take 78 but have been taking the DXL when the weather's bad and the Sequoia when its nice out (Trying to avoid the dirt if possible till I can get a coat of wax on it this weekend.)
BTW, here's pics of my Denali XL
