LS has self-park and the LX has the blind spot camera. Weird both should have the same technology oh well.
I thought the LS had an option for the smart card thing or wtv its actually called

Perhaps having the self-parking system would bump up the LX's price even higher. I dont know, but I doubt Lexus wants to differentiate the price too much from the current models. Most likely, the price will increase just like the original LS400; slowly at a time. People will not be accustomed to a huge change in price.

I'm still waiting for you to justify this statement when the LX and LC are such closely matched rebadges.
Granted, the LC isn't out yet - but based on the 2007 models Toyota is FAR more guilty of just rebadging an LC and calling it an LX than GM is of rebadging a Tahoe and calling it an Escalade. There's worlds more difference there.
Instead you went on to attack whether or not the differences inbetween the Tahoe and Escalade are worth 10 grand.
Are the differences between the 2007 LC and LX worth 7 grand? You'd be lying through your teeth if you said yes and still said the Escalade isn't worth the 10 grand extra.

...which is laughingly ridicilous for the car with the price of Escalade.
:-)
And of course, again, comparing Escalade to LX, is like comparing Malibu to LS. Escalade is more of an Highlander-type SUV.

Then there's the 'ridge' of controls by the center arm rest. I think they should be covered. There's controls below the steering wheel, above the steering wheel, around the steering wheel, and on the steering wheel. Yes that's true with most cars but not so much.
All in all, this layout is a perfect set up for me, so don't know why people are afraid. Can you imagine this as an i-drive(no offense bmw owners)?
So I think the control layout could be improved a great deal by allowing the driver's 'preferences' to be easily set, perhaps when the car is stationary only, and have the car just automatically do the rest.
And improving voice commands is a big area too.

I assume you are saying that in jest, but if you honestly believe that, well - they said "fanboy" was a personal attack, so I guess I will just have to say... LOL!

Fact that they are both top SUV's from their companies dont mean that they compete any more than DTS and LS do, both top versions for their companies
