Re: Sequoia to RX-330?

I went the other way, from a RX300 to a GX470. About the same size as the
Sequoia. I like the larger feeling that the GX gives. We went from a GMC
mini van to the RX initially. I don't need the extra room either since it's
only the wife and me now, but the room is great. I won't go back down in
size.
