Live in a bigger city or more urban area you will parallel park quite often. I would n't mind using it if I had it.

YES! Instant classic...and im going to use that from now on!

I think most people (ones that arent really into cars) assume its a feature on all Lexus cars. Some people at work have asked if mine parks itself "like in the commercials".

I haven't been asked this yet, but everyone that rides in my car for the first time is still baffled by the keyless entry and keyless start.
