My parents just bought one, after driving an Envoy for a few years.

All I can say is WOW!!!

This SUV has everything:
Leather, Voice activated Nav, XM and Sirius radio, DVD,

And the best of all , a Mark Levinson audio system. Which is one of the best factory systems I have ever heard.

A 3.5l V6 with 270 hp. It leaves its own shadow in the dust.

It is very nice.
Monitor 7b's front
Monitor 4's surround

    Oh well, apparently it has a 10 speaker system...we'll see how nice that actually is when I get home I guess.

    One day I'll buy myself one of these http://www.gtrnissan.com/?Site=nissanusa&Area=GT-R_Home

    The wife? Well she can have whatever she can afford!

    I'm just kidding, I'm sure if she's anything like my previous girlfriends she'll get whatever she wants...

    I'm more of a truck guy, but for a smaller SUV, this Lexus is very nice. I was suprized at how much room there was also, considering its compact outside look.

    I'm not what kind of stereo ended up in hers...it's the '08 5 door legacy with the premium package.
