First, I know the GX is smaller than the LC and a little less powerful, but I'm hoping someone here with some experience can weigh in if the cost for a LC is worth it compared to the GX.
I'm really digging the GX (which I know is the LC Prado) and overall appears to be a bit bigger than the 4Runner, but smaller than the LC. What kind of surprises me is how much bigger the LC feels and looks compared to the GX but when you look at the specs and dimensions the LC is merely a few inches wider and less than a foot longer. Does the extra couple of inches add that much more comfort to the passengers in the 2nd and 3rd rows?
What I'm hoping to find out is if anyone has experience with both (not just test driving) to share their opinion on the two.
For the record, I'll be getting a used one no matter which way I go (I'm not one of the freaking rich CB'ers). I'm surprised at how inexpensive a 2 year old GX is which is really getting me to lean towards it. For some reason the GX is almost 50% off of the original sticker price (~$60k) compared to a LC being maybe 25% lower than the original sticker price (~$85k).
