I'm looking at new options for the family daily (really should just be called the wife-mobile and dog hauler) and really eyeing the Lexus LX570 and Toyota Land Cruisers too (2016+ vintages).
The LX570 interior is winning me over, need to schedule a test drive of each truck and see which the other half likes more. My bet is the LX570, since it'll be a mall crawler and blizzard fighter.
It'll be a bit of a jump from her SQ5, which we love. We wanted to move to a Macan GTS, but discovering the "PDK" in the Macan is actually an Audi DSG removed that from the running. I dealt with the Audi DSG enough in the B8.5 S4 I had...
Q7? Our’s has been rock solid. Black optics package looks great too.

Thought about the Q7's but they run the same 3.0T motor as my previous S4 and the current SQ5. A ton of power can be extracted from them but their timing chain tensioners are showing issues as the cars age.
Aside from that, fantastic vehicles without a doubt.
Best spec on the TLC. Anniversary in white. Did you get black or brown interior?
Can you PM what discount you were able to get from team? I have been looking for a 40th in white with black interior, but no one around here lists good discounts.

We've had the 570 since 2016. My wife drives ours and really likes it. Two big complaints - it's really slow (it needs more HP) and the gas tank is too small - I think the range is like 220 miles (on the highway) or something. Minimal issues with the truck. The gas tank, believe it or not, is worse than the slow speed. It needs to be at least 10 gallons larger. We maybe drive it 10-12 miles a day and have to fill it up every week.
We got one of the first models of the new models when they hit Houston (I don't think the gas bank has increased in size). Before that we had the version before. I don't remember the gas tank issue - it was slow too.

It’s a 2020 Heritage Edition. They only come with a black interior and two rows of seats. Very limited model. No discounts on these, as they are made in limited numbers, but they gave me retail on my trade. You should be able to get $10k off a regular (non HE) Land Cruiser without too much fuss.
My new daily to replace the GT3T which was too nice to drive around. At least I don't have to think twice to take this thing out rain or shine. Have to say this '19 Z06 M7 is a nice replacement w/ 650 Ft-Lb of torque and 650 HP. A couple bolt-on's will bring it to 700HP 800Ft-Lb. The rear end is not a 2 tone color, it's just full of grime from the recent rain storms. The shifter is nowhere as nice as the one in the Touring, but hoping a MGW shortshifter will bring it closer. Other than the shifting, I'm have no other complaints.
I have been splitting my daily driving between my .2 GTS4 and my Chevy Silverado. Just traded the Chevy for a new Land Cruiser. The Porsches are going into hibernation for the winter months. The new LC will cover most of the DD duties, but on a nice day I’ll still take out the GTS.
Looking forward to spreading around the DD duties even further in the summer when my RS6 Avant arrives . . .
Beautiful. If you take proper care of it, it should last the next 30 years. No joke.
