lexus dealers in BC are notorious for not giving discounts, doesn't matter which dealership you go to. and they don't care if you know invoice price, they won't budge at all (tried that with my GS450h). they would rather sit on inventory and sell at or near MSRP. and they can, because if i don't buy it, someone behind me will. only way it gets heavily discounted is prior year models they have to get rid of, that's the only way. not sure about ontario, maybe dous can chime in on his purchase experience.

same day, we also used the navi for the first time. after inputting the destination address, navi works the way it should. what i like about the gen 6 navi: it actually tells you the street name (eg: 800 meters to Broadway East - my GS doesn't have this 
). what is even cooler is the HUD: it shows you exactly when to turn - when i come to the intersection where i have to make a left or right turn, the HUD flashes a continuous turn arrow. so there's absolutely no need to look at the navi screen at all (which is what it should be for safe driving).
two great safety features, keeping you safe and your eyes on the road. not much more i can add than give it two

I'm also liking the Parking Assist too.

thx for sharing your experience! yeah, parking assist is great, especially if you are backing into a parking stall.

The parking sensors are nice as well. My wife NEEDED them after coming from our GS, she was spoiled.

IMO parking sensors are useful, but depending on the circumstance I like being able to turn them on or off.
These days sometimes when parked at a stop sign, those pedestrians get too close and beep-beep-beep!

Same here, the HUD is amazing, and to think it is not that expensive of an option. I like how you can adjust the height of the HUD so each driver can set it to their perfect line of site. Well done Lexus. (Now if only the mirrors were all autofold.)

No, I don't play soccer!
Stormforge, or anyone with HUD, how visible is it during the day? I read the height can be adjusted. Any problems finding a comfortable place to view on the windshield?

No problems at all. You can adjust the brightness. I also use it more then looking at the speedometer.
We just got our 350 a couple of weeks ago (our first Lexus). When I asked the salesman about one with the HUD, he said they were hard to get. But... when he checked his inventory, 3 had that just arrived at the dealership and we got one!
