I just found that Toyota/Nissan/Honda have had this Lane Keeping Assist option for their flagship for a year already.![EEK!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/eek1.gif)
Just goes to show how behind their times we (the rest of the world) are.
Here's the Toyota's page that introduces their most advanced safety technologies.
http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/safety_presen/tech/28.html
The VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management) is pretty neat too. Before, ABS, TRC, VSC and electric power steering systems had to work independently, but now with VDIM, they're integrated and managed together so that the effectiveness can be greatly enhanced.
And take a look at the Pedestrian recognition and network-based driving assistance. Amazing innovation for the future. I'd say that a 100% computer-driven road car isn't too far away with adavances like this.

I'll agree here. The back of the MJ looks too much like the M45 and the new 7-series. But I don't think the athlete has all the features that are available on the MJ.

True. But the Athlete doesn't have a V8. That's quite a difference.

God that driver assist reverse parking feature is alot older than a year old.. I have a friend that drives the Toyota Ipsum family van... They put it in most cars now...
Plus the cameras on the front to allow you to see from allys.... Would love to have it myself.. Pretty cool!...

I like it, but the rear end to me looks very similar to the Hyundai XG350- which is not a bad thing. The front of the car is very nice. Toyota should sell these cars here for those not wanting a Lexus, but wants more Toyota than a Avalon.

Actually I was thinking about introducing the lexus brand in japan lately, although I didn't like it at first , then I thought that it would be better for the Crown, since it will make it to the top of toyota's range again.
Long live the Crown.
And thats a heap lot to get it to indonesia. I can import it here and pay like only 20% (if i remember corrcectly) of the car price to land it at my door house. catch it It will not be registerable unless the steering wheel is converted to the left. they do that for early 90's JDM's here, but a 2004 crown.....Forget it.

Well, the parking assist happens to be one feature that's not covered in the video. You can find it in the technology section of the MJ Garage.

A Crown might be on its way here in a few yrs.
They put the Athlete as a concept car on the Toyota website.
