Talking Rosy O'Donnell endorses LS460 parking feature

On The View she said it's the great thing since multi-pack tampax. LOL

(She said she's hopeless at parallel parking)

That's enough to make me NOT want one.

I test drove the 460L today. I did the exact same "self park" that the Motor Trend clowns did in their video and it worked perfectly. That being said, I don't really see it as more than a gimmick and I think anyone who deserves to have a driver's license should be able to do just as well and much quicker.

i think that most of the ppl missed the fact that MT guys tried really hard to ridicule it...

Windows Media Center PC - tv's usually on in a 'corner' window of my display - flipping channels, saw Rosy, usually good for a laugh, then I heard Lexus and watched for a bit.

Then they had a segment on 'nipple covers' and that was enough!

LOL - yes, you need them just in case the seat cooling works a bit too well.

This is the link that I originally clicked to watch it.

http://www.fquick.com/videos/viewvideo.php?id=520

The video came up with the Motor Trend logo at the beginning, so I called it the Motor Trend video. I assume that was Motor Trend, but it's possible that someone ripped off their logo and tried to make it look like it was MT. You can't get much lower than MT in the magazine world, so even if someone ripped them off, it was probably an improvement.

Yes - I saw that. It was funny. It was from Automobile magazine, not MT. I am surprised you said MT was a low end mag. I have been reading it for years and like it very much. They are biased towards BMWs but it seems everyone in the world is. I like the easy reading style they use.

Just my opinion.

Do Lexus really want someone like Rosie endorsing their products? Nipple cover funny, I am still laughing, had to ask my wife what they were and of course 10 secs into the explaination I zoned out.
