According to Consumer Reports the 2010 Lexus GX 460 is a pile of shit. That’s how I interpreted it.
In real-world driving, lift-off oversteer could occur when a driver enters a highway’s exit ramp or drives through a sweeping turn and encounters an unexpected obstacle or suddenly finds that the turn is too tight for the vehicle’s speed.
-Consumer Reports
That’s fine and all, as I could care less what Toyota builds, since their designs are bland, geriatric, and coma-inducing; but the same can be said of GM and Chrysler.
As a rule of thumb SUVs are hideous, marring the landscape with their snail-like shell designs, encouraging a clownish approach to the simple concept of driving, and generally giving millions of human gas bags, who are already too self-indulgent, a feeling of superiority which only helps to embellish their already obnoxious existence.
The proof is in this video.
It’s not uncommon to find the typical SUV driver randomly mowing down happy people on sidewalks; laughing hysterically as they come crashing down off the tops of buildings; and sending people through glass as they wow them with their fucktacular driving skills. SUVs are gigantic manifestations of the gigantic assholes who inhabit them.
The Consumer Reports article mentions the high probability of SUV roll-overs under certain circumstances, but what it fails to mention is that not only are the SUVs themselves susceptible to this hilarious byproduct of driver incompetence, but that it often seems to affect surrounding vehicles as well, causing them to roll over from impact after they have been ramrodded into oblivion, and if that was not shameful enough, causing actual people to be ejected from their vehicles and forcing them to roll over repeatedly as they bound across the pavement in a most amusing state of hopelessly out of control behavior.
It’s a goddamn spate of silliness that can only happen in a country full of turds that will roll over for pretty much anything.
Also not mentioned in the Consumer Reports article is the fact that, out of nowhere, without warning, at the most awkward moments in time, such as just driving along, an SUV will occasionally just burst into flames, sending the driver diving from his vehicle, leaving looks of utter confusion and shock on the faces of the passengers he has just unexpectedly abandoned in the careening vehicle, while the four-wheeled monstrosity plows into a stack of shipping containers and explodes.
However, the most important evidence left out of the Consumer Reports article about the Lexus GX 460 is not the fact that they are slow, heinous, and the ultimate example of a lurking disaster, but that they can’t do wheelies. And that should be the criteria by which every creation is brought to fruition.
In all fairness, though, if you put a moron behind the wheel of pretty much any vehicle it is very likely that vehicle will suddenly become prone to roll-overs, crashes, fatalities, and explosions. Unarguably all those situations can trigger fits of laughter, but they’re hardly a serious indictment of design flaws in said vehicle.
I recommend that if vehicles are to be warned against buying that it should be because they look like atrocious shit-box globs of gelatinous fail, which the Lexus GX 460 certainly qualifies for.
You may find contradictory evidence on other sites around the world wide interwebs regarding all the facts and evidence that I have presented here, but I seriously doubt it.
