Gx460

Consumer Reports: Do not buy a Lexus GX 460 due to rollover risk

I can't imagine someone driving a GX like on the video except re****ed-in-a-hurry-soccer moms or teenagers who borrow their mommy/daddies car and think they are Dale Earnhardt Jr................it's very simple, BE CAREFUL driving the stupid thing! The laws of physics are not difficult to understand................. in Toyota's defense, maybe they can tweak the stability control program to intervene earlier.......I dunno..

I saw on other news website that this further tarnishes Toyota's rep.............what hogwash!!!! I'm sure many on this forum would rather pay Toyota their hard earned money for a car/truck from them, than accept a FREE car/truck from GM/Chrysler.........

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm tired of reading "Toyota's woes"...... The company, i believe, is trying to make it all right. They definitely don't deserve all the flack they are taking..........

In summation: The GX is NOT inherently dangerous to drive, Consumer Reports notwithstanding.

If Toyota has halted sales then there might be an issue since they are going this far and taking it serious but yes,alot of SUV drivers think their trucks can be driven like a corvette which is re****ed.
