What (realistic) change would you like on the 2014 model?

Just thought of another one. Allow the trunk to close with the key fob. I have the auto close feature with the button in the trunk, but why can't I close it with the button on the key fob, too? This should not be hard to implement.

Seriously, I think this is just Lexus trying to limit liability. Even though there's already pinch detection when automatically closing, I'm sure some lawyer put a kibosh on the idea of being able to close via remote. The other Lexus vehicles I've been in which had the powered trunk closer also did not allow for this -- RX and LS (the GS and IS do not have this available as part of any package, maybe cost-cutting maybe it would ruin their sports cred who knows)I doubt they'll ever add close by remote, or if they do-- would be the same time they allow nav input while driving

But do you have the powered trunk opener as well? Seriously, I think this is just Lexus trying to limit liability.

"fix the shameful cheap interior" Step up and buy a GS or an LS.
In fact, many of the features in the poll are either already available in Lexus' GS and/or LS line of vehicles or just not available at all and likely won't be at all in the very near future.
The ES is after all an entry level vehicle, even though it is a Lexus.
And it is not like any of us buyers did not have a chance to inspect the vehicle prior to purchase. No one forced anyone to buy one.

This leads me to your next statement of Lexus and Toyota getting "cocky". If you mean, reducing costs in certain areas, it's kind of a reaction to the above. They need to stay competitive in this economy.
