I'm usually pretty far back but this would tire ones arms after two minutes. What is your driving position?
That arms-outstretched-to-the-wheel is actually the traditional Italian driving position, although somewhat more-so in the past than on the more modern Italian designs.

I don't think she can reach the pedals from that distance unless she's really tall.

My wife actually wants me to sit this far back. She thinks that's a more relaxing position (I think so too) and she can see my face when she looks over. Lol.

This is a JOOOKKKKKKKKE but one of the better memes (in general) I've seen lately. This IS NOT intended to stir up debate, it's just funny especially since we have talked so much about The Shining in the movie thread. I laughed out loud at this.

Top down today, love it.

Car obviously is totally transformed.

You hear the V8 rumble and exhaust more .

Notice the chrome door handle. I am spoiled rotten by these door handles, the feel. You can’t open them with a single finger to put it into perspective.

Never heard of Airscarf; had to look it up. Might be one of the better names for a car feature.

Is it me or this display is out of proportion? But kudo to Lexus for designing something more driver's oriented.
