I get many 'yeah thats very nice', when it's obvious that in they're heads they're really saying

The funny thing about the camera is that people think its so amazing and....it's just a camera! Lexus was just smart and used it intuitively.
Personally I think the burger king and quiznos logos on the nav is pretty impressive!

All my friends freak out about the back-up camera. They literally love goin outside the car to see the camera and its small size. They also love all of the features of the nav and the different screens. They love the the tweeters in the back passenger doors... they always notice it and say, "wow... look at that attention to detail and 'good' sound"...they love the (for the most part) smooth ride... they love how I can roll all the windows down with the push of a button.... and how I dont have to put a key in for the push button start (like my friends S2000).
That brings up another point.... why does the S2000 have a push start if you have to insert a key anyways. Thats ridiculous. I love how the IS is fully keyless. They love lookin at my keyfob thing.

Naw, the comfort access is the exact same as the Smart Key. You don't have to slide it anywhere. Just have it in the car and push the button. My mom has a BMW with "comfort access"

Thats correct. "Comfort Access" is a $500 option on the E90 and $1000 option on the E60 (5er) and will work the same way as the IS does. If you didnt get the option you'll have to stick the key fob into the slot THEN push the start button. Which I think is really hokey! They really should have incldued the Comfort Access as standard just like the IS.

Wow Factor
At night...the illuminated scuff plates. I also love the factory HID AFS lighting system. Covered my fog lights with the Aerotech blue film, and it's a bad boy at night.

Not that I got a "wow" reaction out of it, but I really did like true push start feature since I saw it on the prius. The pre-collision system was a major draw too, but not something you can really see at work, (or at least would hope not to, lol). Other than that I appreciated the heating/cooling seats the most, simply because I saw them as most practical in a leather equipped vehicle.
I'm also surprised that so many people chose the backup camera. I found it to be a nice feature, but still felt more comfortable doing my usual turn-head checking.
