Default rx330 armrests too small, too tall......

i do not like the armrests on my rx330. especially on the driver side. i think its too tall and its kind of weak looking. lexus should have the center console armrest instead. this is the second lexus that i dont like about its armrest. my other lexus doesn't have one at all ! i like the one on the bmw x5. just feel like venting this out to lexus

I like the hold my right arm at around a 45 degree angle away from my body. The stock armrest is too close to the body for comfort. I actually end up using the passenger side armrest if I'm driving alone.

I cannot agree more!! Lexus please repeat after me... large, full armrests are GOOD, skimpy little folding thingies are BAD. At least offer the full armrests as options, no?

This is my first SUV coming from sport sedans and coupes. One thing that my G35 has right is the placement of the armrest. It is positioned so that I can rest my elbow on the armrest and I can still have my hand on the shifter or I can slide my are back to where my entire forearm can rest on it.

I hope this is a first model year type thing and enough people will complain or provide feedback for a different armrest. I would pay to retrofit.

al503,

Why do you call your G35 a POS?
