Lexus Is 500 entered the chat 😂

It's a sedan, 4 doors equals that.

I love the CLA since the commercial with Casey Neistat. Elegant design, enough space, and good fuel economy

POLE TO POLE. This car in its top spec plus special wheels/tires was driven from the North Pole, criss-crossing all over Canada and the USA then the full length of Latin America in every terrain and weather. The car was then transported to the South Pole where it drove to the centre where all the national flags are of explorers who have reached it. In Antarctica they pulled a trailer with a Wind Turbine on it and they also used Solar panels to charge. So to all the EV snobs who put it down....F! OFF!

LEXUS OFFROAD 👌❤️‍🔥👍

I own and drive a mint condition 114 thousand KM blue 1992 eagle vista 5 speed with blue interior, zero options no cig light no power no radio just a cold and heat slide and basic settings ! I love it !!!! It gets over 500 km a tank of fuel with its 46 liter tank ,

What do you think of this baby AMG?

The GX550 Overtrail Plus+ is WAY Overkill...! But I have DISCOVERED Very Challenging Terrain at the Mall that require the GX550 Overtrail Plus+'s off road prowess... especially parking in TWO Adjoining Parking spaces so that Lesser Vehicles DO NOT bang my Truck when they open their car doors or Speed Bumps that are located at too close of intervals... eKDSS Please... and the Fantastic 2/3 fold down rear seat... My Wife and Teenage Daughter are Professional Shoppers... Please Don't Say... "On Sale, Discount, or CloseOut...!!!" They LOVE To "BackUp the Truck...!" Anyway... the GX550 Overtrail Plus+ has Got Me Thinking! Merry Christmas and HNY! "SaddleUp We're Go'in to Lake Tahoe... Do Some Skiing!" Gung Fu Cowboy 🇺🇲MAGA!

I am a lifelong car enthusiast. I like them all, big or small. Raised on muscle cars and trucks, then opened my world up to imports and the oddballs. I love driving for fun, but i hate commuting. Commuting by car has no joy. As my kids get older and become more independent, I've gotten back into cycling as transport. We can ride together and they learn how to navigate on their own. Our area has just begun to consider safe cycling infrastructure, so safety (from cars) is lesson #1. Our oldest wants to learn everything about driving & working on vehicles, but he also requested an e-bike when he turns 16 and enters the job market. Maybe im doing something right.

After seeing hundreds of ads every time I log into the internet, reading reviews I'm doing my research I was excited to finally purchase the carbon one pro. Less than 24 hours while working on the border I tore my ACL. Within 24 hours of purchase I contacted the company and asked to cancel this purchase do to me being on disability for the next 4 to 6 months. I explained set at 45% disability pay the responsible thing to do would be to cancel the order and when I was healed repurchase the bike. Numerous emails back and forth I was told I would be charged a $300 cancellation fee based on the fact that I financed do the company they recommended. I contacted the financial company they said there was no cancellation on their end it was Utopia's policy. It seems that Utopia puts the $ before good customer relationships. When I'm healed I will not be purchasing from Utopia

I owned a few of the Citoen BX, 1,4 l 75 HP, 1,9 l 101 HP and 1,9 l GTI 120 HP. One of the best cars I ever owned. Greetings from Germany. By the way, I also owned one Citreon XM 2,0 l 120 HP. I think you would like it too.

👍👍👍

I hope Acura hear what you said about "hybrid version" and I hope they move the shifter and charger to each other location😊

How much could it possibly cost to have a dash board covered in leather? My girl had a car that popped out of gear, i was told it was caused by drivers resting their hand on the shifter while cruising. Seems early on yours tho

I had a 79, an 84, an 88, an 87 and an 87 now. No water, just the trans on the 84 8 valve, and a fusebox overheating issue on the first 87. Present one is at west coast roccos almost done

i had four and still own one now. they all ran great. save for one self machining trans in my 84.

I really wish the GX was heavy enough to qualify for the tax write off.

I looked at a Rover and told the salesman I had looked at the GX the previous day. He told me that IF you get a Rover make sure you least it for no more than 36mos and rotate them out.

THANK YOU!!! I’m 6’5” and finally I’ve come across a tall guy doing a vehicle review! I have subscribed!!! I like the GX 550. I like the Overtrail and not for taking off road. In my area some of the streets and roads can be pretty rough, so I like having something that can handle the potholes, ruts and bumps. 🫡💪🏽👍🏽

That super long nose limits its off road abilities the moment you leave smooth dirt roads.

Thank you!

Great review. Please stop saying this vehicle is expensive. People pay $90,000 plus for a Ford Bronco Raptor or a Range Rover, both with horrible reliability. This is an excellent value for the money-worth every penny.

The Kia EV6 is amazing, but the bZ4X stands out with its clean, electric ride and Toyota’s dedication to innovation and sustainability.

If normal buyer just buy gx premium ekds seystem is not only for off roading and if they buyer doesn’t know ekds forget it 😂

I'm not a Lexus fan, but boy that's one ugly vehicle. Overkill and just not at all what I think the original Lexus brand was about: Luxury in a quiet way. All these SUV's by Lexus, Cadillac, Buick, Lincoln and such are so stupid and moronic. I hate every one. I'm a Cadillac guy and own two older sedans. One is even a Cimarron which was a re-badged Chevy Cavalier with nicer trim. I think that's more Cadillac than these silly Escalades. I used to be a huge Buick fan. Today there isn't one thing in the Buick line that I'd buy. The fact that so many people keep buying these over-sized SUV's and trucks is just proof that gas prices are way too low.

I just got one and I really like it. Might even use it on some trails :).

You understand 'momentum' ? If those hills were so easy, stop using it.

The New 2025 GX overtrail is now $3000 more than previous with 1 inch lift.

Funny I have owned my 16v scirocco for 24 years and I don't feel it was that bad. I even picked up a second one to rebuild as a track toy (my first an 88 and my new one is an 87)...... my buddy has two of them too🙃. I have also owned serval 951's and some 930 SC's in the past. Are Scirocco's best upgrades are a set of KW V3's set up on scales, TT exhaust and TT ABF cams, Missing linkz shifter and to top it off SCCH bearing shifter ball....

These new GXs are hard to get right now, while the Land Cruiser you can just walk in and even pay below sticker

Lazlo Bane! 👍

It’s the affordable Japanese G Class version and hardly not many people have it yet so you won’t see yourself coming and going

Being content with my 2014 Corolla with 150K miles and being far removed from a car payment while still getting 35mpg has become a way better feeling than driving some contraption with a large payment that has the capability to cross the Sahara, when I just need to go to/from work and run general errands like most people. I love cars, especially the obscure ones that Ethan reviews, but these overland vehicles and roided out pickups that people drive to an office park or kids to practice just make me laugh. These companies are just appealing to your emotions and trying to trap you with big financial burdens. Work towards freedom, not more unnecessary bs.

I appreciate you making note of how dangerous these cars are

These were great looking cars and hold up well today! I think they need to start using the white on white on cars of today! I like it better the all blacked out cars . I always thought the interior was way ahead of it's time. It was clean looking and streamlined. The 80s and 90s Pontiacs were so cool! They never should of killed off Pontiac!

Which trail were you driving on?

Was watching another review yesterday for the base GX and it was not great. The Overtrain + would be the one to get.

i have owned 8, but you can do it, if your buying low milage, cars, with service history. when you start going off on peculiar models, and want to spend money doing them up, thats when it becomes a money pit......when they stop working, you just look for another used car, thats been looked after.....

Ethan , I am giving you a 🥇 for the title of this video and I will go one step farther. I am old enough to remember when the vast majority of people driving body-on-frame 4X4s were people who actually needed them. Once we accept what a frivolous indulgence 4X4s have become today, the pressure to worry about their ludicrous prices is completely eliminated. 😉

Yeap

You hit the nail on the head. Great resale, great brand recognition, and will highly coveted down the road as well.

My buddy just bought a + in green, it's definitely the spec to have. The big wheels on the pavement oriented trim just look goofy imo.

Agreed, unnecessary for most people...But then again, many vehicle purchases dont make much sense (luxury brands as a whole are all strictly irrational purchases). So I have to hand it to Lexus for bringing this hip looking design that stands out in a sea of blobby new crossovers. And I also applaud them for including some traditional interior controls like the PRNDL gearshifter.

I have a Aryia. Love it. It is gorgeous compared to the others and is so quiet. Got a great lease.

What do you think of the Lexus GX550 Overtrail+? Perfect spec or overkill?

Runner up: the Dodge Charger.

Thought this was a pretty spot on review. We went with the Ariya for the better ride and nicer interior over most of its competitors. It also had very good lease rates (leasing makes the car eligible for the federal tax rebate - get em while you can). DC fast charging is a once in a blue-moon event for us so the extra couple of minutes to charge vs a EV6 or Ionic 5 wasn't a consideration. Everything else about the car is great. I even consider the relative lack of storage space up front a bonus - fewer spaces for my other half to fill with trash/junk. Only thing I disagreed with in the review was that my Ariya came with a level 2 charger, and the video literally showed the level 2 charger (look at the plug shape). In fact, all but the lowest trims come with a level 1 and level 2 compatible charger. Only the lowest trim is level 1 only.

One of the most underrated vehicle , recently bought one for my wife and we love it , the only inconvenience for me is the automatic breaking which drives me crazy .

As a first time altima owner I had no idea this was a rolling meme car until now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this shit is funny as hell. EDIT... My credit score is 875 smartasses. I just couldnt watch another $40k+ car rot away because of the shitty salty winter roads here in minnesota.

Very nice review! I do enjoy branching out into reviewing bikes, especially as someone who loves bike riding.
