This car ranks right up there with what you�d expect from a luxury SUV. Comfortable leather seats, large spacious interior, and a host of extras that make driving easier. However, with all of that, there isn�t really a surprise to this car, it�s exactly what you�d expect.
Unlike some other Lexus cars, this one is obviously a descendant of a Toyota, and was referred to as the �Land Cruiser� for the duration of its test. While it still looks nice, it still kind of gives it �just an expensive upgrade� look. However, I was pleased with the small, elegant lighting on the running boards that light up when you unlock the doors with the key fob (not sure if that comes with the Toyota or not). It also had good ground clearance but wasn�t too hard to climb into.
The interior was very nice. All leather, comfortable seats, wood finish and a host of options. This car had the built in navigation system that was pretty easy to use, AND, the screen doubled as a video monitor when backing up. A small camera mounted just below the rear window gave clear vision of what you were backing up into, and was pretty easy to tell how close you were to upcoming objects. �Even I could parallel park this car,� a friend exclaimed, which says a lot considering the size of the car and the sloping width that would make it difficult to really see your edges.
