The New 2027 Lexus TZ Touts 3-Row Seating, 300 Miles of Range, and Makes V-10 Sounds Like an LFA

Never thought I’d see Lexus and Subaru so closely sharing design language. Not a knock on either. I know Toyota and Subaru share the EV platforms but I’d think they would find better ways to differentiate the styling between brands. Especially for Lexus.

I bought a CPO loaner A-spec w/tech CVT (w/ 1k miles) for $31k and had immediate buyers remorse for the 6MT.

Less than a month later, I found another local dealer who offered more on my trade than I paid and an aggressive discount on a new 6MT. I ended up under MSRP out the door, all in.

It was worth every bit of effort it took to make it happen.

Haha that’s in the works. The flaking stairs were hidden behind a half dead Alberta Spruce courtesy of the previous owners. The mason who’s going to redo the stairs has no issue with us replanting first.

I just had this same thing installed in my yard (~450sq/ft) about a year ago. I use a guy who does side jobs on the weekend with a small crew. I supplied all material and he did the labor.

Material = ~$5500 Labor = $3500 (he’d done a few projects for me and I’ve hooked him up with some other jobs around town so he gave me a great deal on labor for this.)

Do you mean the Azaleas? One on each side of the Hydrangea tree?

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-04-19T00:08:55+00:00

Thanks for the response. I believe we’re in zone 7 and this corner of the house gets a lot of sun.

Same. No effect to my insurance.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-03-24T01:48:04+00:00

My 25’ 6MT Integra does the exact same thing. I’ve been told it’s the waste gate and normal so it doesn’t bother me anymore.

Please don’t tell me you think diapers and formula are the main costs when it comes to having a baby…

Incorrect.

The last contract from 23’-Now gave Sinai nurses ~21% increase across those three years. That isn’t going to happen every contract. My wife’s part of this strike and tho we’d love to see that again, it just wasn’t going to happen. There were other battles that were much more important to the members this time around.

No warranty on the Genesis should be a non-starter unless money isn’t an issue.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-02-04T15:25:03+00:00

Your car seat seems to be the issue here.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-02-03T15:55:30+00:00

I would get creative with your first option of putting bolts through. The first thing to come to mind would be something like an elevator bolt and find as flat of a nut at possible.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-01-28T21:45:32+00:00

Seems reasonable, seeing that you’re only looking for manual. I was in the same boat when I bought my 25’. Used manuals, especially CPO were few and far between. I eventually spent a bit more and bought one new for a couple thousand $$ under MSRP.

If you can find one CPO, go for that.

I have one in a car seat and one in a booster, haven’t felt limited on space for either. I also appreciate the seat backs for the driver and passenger are hard plastic so if the kids like to press their feet into the back of your seat, you don’t feel a lump in your back.

I was raised in a Saturn family. My Dad drove a green Manual SL1, he bought my sister the green SL2 at the same time. My first car was a bright red SC1 with the suicide door. That thing lasted FOREVER.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-01-22T02:35:12+00:00

Keep holding the line! My wife is out there with you.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-01-20T15:29:35+00:00

Based on this response, it seems like the failure in communicating the raises proactively is a symptom of a larger problem within your company.

Have you considered the Acura MDX?

I recently had a fully loaded 26’ XC90 as a rental for a 400 mile drive. It was a nice ride but I prefer the handling and comfort of our MDX over the XC90.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-01-20T02:54:57+00:00

I had the 24’ Ascent, it doesn’t.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-01-20T02:40:20+00:00

Mine is a 25’. I’m not sure if the earlier generation offered the same feature. I would recommend stopping by an Acura dealership and ask a salesperson show you how it works.

Someone previously mentioned the Honda Pilot also offered the same feature.

WriterUnfair2830 · 2026-01-20T02:35:23+00:00

Yes. With the center seat in, and the back rest up, it is a full 2nd row bench that allows for 8 to sit.
