My issue is at night if you're fueling up it's hard to find the fuel door release button in the dark. In NJ, we don't get out of the car as self serve is not allowed.

I had no idea about that. That's crazy!

usb should be moved to the center storage or at least dropped down so the lid can be closed. bad design "visually", great design for functionality
OMG. I agree 100%. So foolish for them not to put the USB ports in the console...or angle them laterally....Guess we have to listen to CDs or radio to enjoy all of the nice wood inside the vehicle! *shrug*

Absolutely right. Almost didn’t buy this car because of the exposed cables and visible mess. I think 2023 brings wireless Car Play. You problem will be solved with the next ES you buy.

Biggest annoyance, parking assist. The parking sensors show 4 bars I believe, when it gets to the second bar, the emergency park assist already slams on the brakes and then I continue to inch forward until I get to 1 bar on the parking sensor monitor. As if the beeping wasn't enough, the parking assist kicks in too early. I haven't bothered to look for a way to deactivate it yet though.

It's easily deactivated in the Multi-Use Display or whatever it's called--on the Left side of the cluster.
I was just writing in another post about how I do a lot of city driving and:
- This is a great reason to have a system that prevents you from backing into a person--there's always kids running around
- This is also tricky if you're trying to wedge your car into a tight spot and the system thinks there is a person there when there isn't.....A unique example that I wrote about in another thread is backing up to a row of plants that are blowing in the wind--the system is likely detecting the motion and it starts becoming super sensitive.

Yes, I've noticed that too, to the point where I start scanning the camera image to see if there's a post in there or something.

I hate it when I stop too close to a white line in the turning lane at a red line and back up and the sensor makes the car slam on the breaks when a car next to me passes by 😬

System working as intended. Don't back up under those conditions.

I'm sure a lot of people saw this, I meant to post a lot sooner. But anyway here's the next-gen Camry... not much to see.. but it's something. This should be very crucial to the 8ES. See anything you like/dislike on this?

I notice these interesting lines. Yes it won't be 100% grafted onto 8ES, but it gives you an idea of the design direction for 8ES. Even then, It's interesting. I can tell this car will look good from my highlights below. the third hood line didn't stick. damn MS paint. but you get the idea.
