Analog Clock: A Nit Pick
A little frustration I have with the implementation of the clock in the car. The clock in my looses about a minute a week. I do like the analog design and implementation of the clock but, however, have a problem with how often it needs to be reset. With all the on-board technology including a nav system that has available to it a very precise time source (GPS), why would Lexus choose to provide a solid state (with analog display) clock that doesn't take advantage of the GPS clock for update of the minutes hand? My wife's inexpensive Mazda sets its own clock for goodness sake.
Along with the lack of a power assisted trunk closure system on US cars, this is the only other item that continues to bother me. And, for that, I am grateful.

On my vehicle, the hands of the clock to not line up with the markings on the clock. For example, the minute hand is halfway between four and five, then moves halfway between five and six. Which position designates four, five, and six? Since it's halfway there is no way to tell.

I may just have a bum clock. The mirrors would be nice but, never having them, I don't know what I'm missing.

I have no issue's with the analog clock. I would like a digital clock somewhere in the car, I have had a couple of comments on the clock on how good it looks. It does really tick me off that the GS did not have the soft close trunk and electric closing mirrors. Can't cry over spilled milk, so I'll hope for the best in the redesign.
