Your favorite comfort feature on the LS-460?
What is your favorite comfort feature on the car?
I list as very neat the following:
1) The fact that the car lights up inside, below the external mirrors and unfold them at the same time when you touch the door handle with the key in your pocket. THAT'S COOL.
2) The rain sensor can be adjusted for less or more sensitivity easly.
3) Smog sensor - adjustable and it will switch to re-circulating internal air when that smoky school bus is in front of you.
Life is good!

Agree with your finds, in addition I will have to say:
BlueTooth technology (have improved a lot),
Automatic trunk opening/closing
Brake Hold Feature
Cool/Heat air in seats
Doors close automatically by making contact with body car.
And few others....

I agree with all
My best cool feature is the backseat upgrade and the look on peoples faces when I bring down the back seat console and show them all the buttons and features.
My next best is the Bluetooth and the Brake Hold. They work flawlessly.
Next is the music and all the choices I have.
What about the smoothness of the car on the highway. Oh yea, and the quiet in the cabin when you are traveling at 75mph on the Turnpike. Let's not forget the stares you get when you drive by a Mercedes S550 or BMW 7 series. I think those people are really the ones that understand what you have.
The backseat side window shades are awesome. Most cars that have shades only have it on the back window.
The heated steering wheel was wonderful the other morning when I got in the car and it was cold.
You know when I approach the car and the lights go on under the mirrors, I feel she knows me and is waiting for me. It says, "OK get in and let me take care of you". Then I touch the door handle and the mirrors open, the alarm beeps (saying I have arrived, Ok to enter) and the car opens to me. (are you getting aroused?)
I could go on, but I have to take a cold shower.

Judging from what I read on the Mercedes and BMW Forums, I don't think that is the case. They still think you are driving a TOYOTA.

Also, my son's neighbor has the A8L and he came over and congratulated me and told me how he read all about the car.

Are you sure their THUMB is the digit they are holding up?
Just kidding!
I love my LS430 and would buy an LS460 if I didn't just have 10,000 miles on my LS430. I am a former Mercedes owner and a current BMW owner so I surf the other automotive forums too. Some of them have quite an attitude about the Lexus with the most common attitude being "....well, you are still driving a TOYOTA!" As the other poster put it, the Mercedes guys are basically driving Chryslers these days.

Who cares... I drive what works for me and suits my needs. Do we have autobahns in USA? No. Do we drive at 100mph on freeways here - no, traffic sucks. So why would I pay +$100K for a car that has features more suited for the Europeans?
Lexus knows what consumers want, and they deliver.

I won't renew mine. I never listen to radio anyways, so for me it's a waste of money. I'd rather pop in my favorite live concert DVDs and CDs. Besides, I know where the traffic jams are here in my town.
Now the question is how do we go as to update the maps in the HD over the years?
