Slow door close - slamstop
Saw this in the recent Motor trend. Looks interesting.
Has anyone seen this in action or even installed it on their GS?
I worry about any warranty change, who would install, the noise of the device, etc.
What do you guys think?

For a high end pure luxury sedan (aka the LS), this should be standard or at least an option.
Here is what the LS currently has:
Although it's not 100% identical to what you posted, it does get the job done of slow door close/less noise.
I believe BMW and Mercedes also have something similar.
Since the GS is not a pure luxury sedan (it's a combination of luxury & sportiness), I'm not surprised it's not offered with our cars.
It looks cool though - I would be to curious to see how hard you can really "slam" the door before it activates and takes over.
I don't allow people who slam doors to sit in my beauty

What's up with that LS power trunk? It looks like more hassle than good when it isn't working properly like that.

Holy crap... I couldn't finish watching the LS video. What's up with guy in the video? Autobytel couldn't find someone more appropriate dressed and groomed?
Not that the Slamstop one was much better but seriously...

They guy is ok but the LS weak power trunk is not! That is a problem on its own.

My power closing doors are pretty cool
I've never experienced that trunk issue, nor has anybody on the LS forum that I've seen. Must be a fluke.
