Default What would you like to add?

5 AM - Research project and I'd thought I'd procrastinate a little.

If I can add anything to my ES right now, it would be an easy button that when activated, the ES transforms into an autobot and does my homework

What kind of options should Lexus provide in future vehicles??

Turning into an Autobot would definitely be cool...I hope Lexus will incorporate into other cars the "hold" feature like in the LS. If that doesn't pan out, I wouldn't mind a Turbo Boost and super pursuit mode like on K.I.T.T.

Nothing that would add too much to the cost!!!!* The automatic parallel park on the LS is cool (not sure I would trust it though).* I know that I would like to see either more sensors directly in front or a front camera!*

Yeah, I'd like that.

Also, lights in the buttons like the moonroof and homelink buttons. It's asinine that other buttons are backlit but those aren't. They think we don't come home at night or something?

Oh, the dark chrome emblems would be nice. Had it on an old Camry. Would be nice to have it on this car.

codex57 your are right on regarding the lights for moonroof and homelink buttons! They could also move the passenger side window down button (my wife always hits it when she puts here arm on it (I have to lock the windows so it doesn't happen). Also, they could move the button on the center console cause it is easy to hit and open when you don't want it to.

Never had a problem with the button in the center console but i definitely hate it when the passenger uses it as an arm rest and I cant open it!!! The window lock button doesn't lights up either. I had someone ask for directions and I couldn't roll the the windows .

Going in a slightly different direction - why don't they put carbon monoxide sensors in cars? Given the many fatalities (some accidental) each year, it seems easy to put a sensor in cars. If the car senses unsafe levels of CO and the car is not moving, it shuts itself off. If it is moving, it rolls down the windows.

Hey Yiujai86, that would be nice! Great idea n2cars, but I wonder if most times the fatalities happen because the people want it to (suicide)...? Still a good idea!
