Why you not do this lexus
I need that one funny meme of the dude saying this...
Man! That would have been way nicer than the elbow trick. haha
ALso I might add the the new Prius auto steers for backing into spaces and parallel parking!

I agree with you. Down the road they can break. 4Runner and Land Cruiser still have the good old manual style doors.

I don't understand why Lexus is void in the auto parking department currently. They were effectively pioneers with the auto parking feature on the LS back in '07. Maybe it was before it's time?

On our 2005 Sienna one of the power side doors no longer works. I guess it's a huge problem on those 2gen Siennas.

Jill, one of my customers has a 2014 (or 15 I forgot) LX570 and that has the powered rear upper tailgate. I believe he said to open it, you still have to do it manually, but there is a button on the interior plastic panel of the upper gate that will close it if you push it. I am surprised the LC doesn't have that option since it's basically the same vehicle.

The '17 Audi A4 has hands-free trunk opening. Thought you would all enjoy this. Be careful what you wish for. This is pretty amusing...

That foot-under-bumper feature to open the rear hatch was actually started a few years ago on the top-level Ford Escape (Titanium) version, and was a great idea from a convenience point of view for package-laden shoppers. But, in actual practice, the sensor-location under the rear bumper exposed it to a lot of salt, dirt, water, dust, tar from road-work, and other factors which degraded it and either lessened its efficiency or caused it to fail outright.

It's only a single data point, but ours has worked flawlessly for over a decade. If it failed, it would cost $0 to replace, because the door can still be operated manually in exactly the same manner as the non-power version. The struts are starting to sag, but that happens to all hydraulic pistons over time--even on manual doors--and they're relatively inexpensive to replace. I've done so several times, on vehicles of multiple brands.
