Mate, check out www.clublexus.com

There is a massive amount of info there, and it seems that there are some TSB's on rattles. I'm going to have a look over the car on the weekend, but this may see our first visit to Kedron for the dealer to look at this.

Don't know what your budget is, but maybe you should look at a CX-7 or CX-9.

We've got a CX-9, we looked at Lexus too, dollar for dollar, feature for feature, size, performance and everything else, the CX-9 was our pick. The new CX-9 has even more bling or the buck. A happy wife means a happy Sam!

Yeah, I wanted the wife to look at the CX9, the Nissan Murano (could have bought an 18 month car with low kays), Territory GHIA and the top of the line Kluger.

It was the RX that she wanted, and it was the RX that she got !!

100% on the happy wife means happy Sam line too !

The Kluger is built on the same Toyota Modular Platform that spawned the current-generation Camry, released in Australia in the middle of 2006.

GS was straight six until 2005. After 3gen they are V6 or V8 configuration.
V6 is a 2GR series which is also in Aurion ,RX etc.
GS version is FSE direct injection and others are FE port injected.
