LOL. I have a 2005 4Runner and my internal counsel has a 2005 or so GX. He was in mine and commented on how nice it was and that he liked it. I said, well you should like it, it is essentially the same thing as yours. He threw a little fit and kept saying 'MINE'S A LEXUS, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!' Funny.
One point though, I believe I read that although the R MB and Pacifica look similar, they actually share no components. I could be wrong, but I recall reading that.
Every SLK owner I come across is really snooty.
