The exterior sideview mirrors on the IS are not electronically folding. However, they are heated, auto-dimming, and they have puddle lamps in the bottom of them that light up when you approach the car with the fob.

Edit: they also tilt down in reverse, and are linked to the memory settings with the seats. I believe this all to be included in one of the packages.

: thats weird, IŽve just read this on lexus.co.uk:

"Electrical foldable, heated exterior mirrors"

To me that means you can fold the mirrors... Maybe the eurpean versions have foldable?
It is very important to me that they are electrical foldable, I have a VERY small garage.
Anyone know about this?

Weird

Our GS's both have that feature, but I was told that the IS wasn't going to have that feature.
