No one mentioned the missing "mini-middle-visor" like I had in my LS430. It did take me 3 months until last week when I went to put it down on a sunny day....AND IT WASN'T THERE!

8. Requirement to turn cruise back on every time I start the car
9. TPMS pressure data not tied to specific tire
10. Nav lockout

Note that there's a lot to LIKE about the car, but the OP asked what we didn't like.

Sure, but it still cheeses me off that it's necessary. I'm used to systems that DON'T require you to buy and install $350 add-ons to allow you to use the equipment you bought.

It's the principle of the thing, and principles are important to me.

I wanted the power, the trunk came second but I still hope they can do something about it in the future.

Theres a steering wheel heater? LOL I don't bother with things I can't see, but I do have to agree ,it could be in a better place.

The center headrest in the rear blocks my view upon backing out, and I can't manually add/remove this headrest as I please.

That's about it for complaints.

Would like to see the adjustable air suspension as an option on the LS460 SWB.

hehehe, that's why you have the backup camera to cover the "lower" portion?

and about the comments on the rear headrests blocking, there should be a button up front to put everything back to normal, thus lowering the rear headrest right?

Would of like to be able to lowerer the trunk from inside the car like MB and the speed is alittle annoying . Also would have been nicer if the side door panels were wrapped in leather instead of being plastic, when you but things like glasses and suck they tend to rattles. Isn't it possible to have the whole steering wheel be heated instead of just the sides?

Oh and redesign the front end.

Does the lexus in the US come with a washing machine option? They have nothing like that here in Japan.

Guess I should have added the wood steering wheel. Yeah, it looks cool, but it's distracting to me to have different surfaces and that contrast between soft leather and hard, cold wood.

When I make a turn and the wheel spins back, it's hard for me to ignore the hard/soft/warm/cold weirdness. A good ol' leather wheel would have been more to my liking.

you can get the LS without wood on the steering wheel?

anywhoo, i have to agree about the wood on the wheel. when making a turn, a good leather steering wheel would slide back to the original position if your holding it with some slack. when i drive the loaners, the friction between the fingers and the wood increases at the wood parts because of the laquer so it stops the wheel from turning back.

quite annoying.
