Lexus:
Please don't mess up the Gx470 model by placing a gas guzzler 5.7 motor in it.
I'm sure , with the technology you have there can be a fuel efficent motor(5.0 or less)
(18-24 mpg) that will sell thousands of cars.
In my opinion, this model ,GX470, is the best vehicle Lexus has to offer the middle class/ business person customer. (Toyota Has to do the same with 4-Runner) Sequioa , this new guzzler, cannot be given away with out incentives.

Lexus has never really produced anything fuel efficient. Even the hybrids are a joke. You have to figure that the people who are going to buy luxury vehicles don't really care if it gets 20 mpg or 17 mpg. Look at the new LX-570. $80,000 and Lexus dealers have a waiting list of people who want one.

I do agree that the GX is the best platform Lexus has. It's not too big and overall is a nice ride.
