Talking Diane Keaton criticizes Lexus hybrid on Jay Leno

She starts out with this story about how she ran over her dog.

Then she blames her 'Lexus hybrid' for being too quiet so the dog couldn't hear it.

Then she shows a pic of the dog - MAJOR FAT DOG, and it survived! More amazingly, wasn't hurt at all. She says its fat saved it.

Then she criticizes the Lexus again saying it should make more noise.

Very strange!

Haha, maybe she should teach the dog how to spot a moving car, or use her reverse camera, or look ahead

So far Jay Leno him self has mentioned the Lexus LS460 atleast 4 times in his show. Once about the massage unit, once about the self regulating climate control and twice (if not more) about the auto parking feature.
Has anyone else payed attention to that, it's defenitly getting alot of press attention.

One of the APGS mentions was followed by a "well here, let's show the video" of a car sliding on an icy road, bumping no less than 5 cars (alright now you see, it's scanning for a spot, no, no) and then finally coming to stand still on a parking spot.
That was about 10 days ago, I thought it was funny!

Too bad we don't get the self parking feature in our state. I wont get to see it in action first hand. I really wanted to see how it worked.

Hmm when will they repeat this, lol.

Seriously though, the RX 400h's quiet has been compared to a 'stealthy ninja,' you really can't hear it all that well.
