Don't you get all those extras what you see in those photos
I live in australia and we get all that even in my 2006 sport with HID and headlight washers
On my sport which comes with the big tyres and the 18" wheels
The steering gear ratio also changes from 13:6:1 to 13:5:1
Does the usa models get the sharper gear ratios as well.

Aren't those lines the parking assist option? I could have sworn they were available from 2006 ->

That could be true. I test drove one without that option hence I was not aware lexus offers it.

Note to self: get parking assist option

Nope. that is only for the non-US market. None of the US model has that feature in any model year including 2008. On LS460, it's a different story.

This has been covered in 3GS forum. I would love to have that option but in US, we don't get that.

I am starting to get pissed off - why don't we (the biggest Lexus market) get all the good stuff - like power windows and now those parking lines.

UGH!!
