    Lexuses are the stepford wives of the car world; so perfect that they've lost any trace of personality. I don't like 'em.

      Is it good to multitask while you drive? NO, not at all. But does it happen, and often is it unavoidable, YES. Hence why I have the automatic e46.

      I find it much easier and safer to have one less thing to think about while I drive. Like I said before, for a daily driver for someone who does about 18k a year, an automatic luxury car can be the prefect solution. I enjoy manuals a lot, and I have only had manual cars for the most part before this one, but after a while you get sick of traffic with the 5 spd, etc. And even those park sensing systems, I never liked them till I actually drove cars daily with them, and its amazing how nice it is to parrallel park in Boston w/out trashing your bumper, since now you can get real close without tapping the car behind you.

      And before someone says it, I used to sell cars, and move them around all day. If you think salesman don't just back up till they hit the car behind them, then you are sadly mistaken....... Park sense hence saved mucho damage from occuring, so automated shit isn't all bad.

        As a really stupid teenage guy, i look at a lexus LS and say, why would i want that over a 5? i personally do not want to be seen in a old persons car like a lexus, the styling is still bland, and the chassis dynamics of a 5 kick a LS's ass. that and a BMW is wayyyyy cooler in a college students eyes.

        yea stupid i know.

        in another note, lexus is calling that kink a "arrowhead." wtf?

          One of the reasons I got another BMW instead of a Lexus, Mercedes, etc. I always liked the styling of the BMW much better.

              Aye Aye. Gee no wonder they get things "right"", take the 5's design which was undoubtedly controversial and get it right
