I hope it does. The other day, I was in the financial center of downtown, and parked outside was a 1st gen LS and behind it, a new ES 330. I happened to walk by both cars and glance at the interiors, and both cars are amazing but I must say, as Lexus grows, the 'trickle down' is mighty impressive.

 

I always have buyers remorse about everything and return or exchange all sorts of things because I find something wrong because of my nitpicking. I have a problem I know but the one thing I have never had remorse about was my lexus. I have had 4 now (currently own 2) and the saying lexus for life is ringing true for me. The car is just a notch above everything else on the road. You know I didn't know the rear seats are ventilated too?

 

yeah, when I first had my UL, It took me 2 days just to figure out all the functions.... loved it!! But I am only 25 so it really don't really fit my need.... went with a gs4 and drop in 10000 almost right away on mods and bought a lx470 yesterday for cruise... so now I got my gs4 for spped and lx470 for luxury, and still , I have money left from selling my ls430...

 

About that ES....I hope it looks different because this one right now isn't too pretty.

 

I agree the ventilation system in the LS430 is very effective and really doesn't need any tweaking once set.

I had a BMW X5 before this and it came with a thumbwheel to adjust the ventilation system hotter or colder (I think many BMW's do). I never understood why this was there except as an admission of defeat - they just know their system wouldn't work by itself and had to give the driver an adjustment control.

Kind of defeats the purpose of temperature controlled systems with digital readouts - they should just go back to one big temperature **** and give up

p.s. the a/c system never worked properly anyway - on hot days the internal vents expanded and jammed shut - sometimes took 10 minutes of driving in 100 degree temperature before the a/c suddenly "popped" and cool air came in.

I miss my X5.

Not.

 

Hey you had me goin there for a second!

 

mercedes come with that thing too..... I tried it when I was driving my friend's s500, don't see any difference tho.
