The other reason I am thinking about a Chevy is that the mileage is better and has more power compare to the LC (they are still getting 15-16). I almost got a Lexus 450 a few months ago, but the deal felt through. I am not really looking, and I suck at doing research, but a good one comes along from someone I know I will buy it.
If you can't find a NICE 100-series in that price range, you're not even trying. I came very close to buying a 100-series a while back so I did a lot of research, you can get 18 MPG pretty easily. Newer Tahoe would be 20 MPG, so the difference isn't substantial. The newer GM SUVs are greatly improved, but still not to LX470/Land Cruiser levels of quality. In regards to power, let's face facts - everything feels powerful compared to an 80-series. I loved my FJ80 but powerful it was not, even the 100 feels like a hot rod.
