GS, HS, and RX are the only Lexus's to offer it. Quite a shame because it's an awesome feature that should be more available, especially on tech laden LS's and sporty IS's and CT's

We have it in our 2012 GMC Acadia Denali. I love it. I no longer look at the dashboard when driving. It's a great feature. Even better, for the rare person who finds it a distraction, it can be toggled off.

yeah it's a travesty that it wasn't a feature for the LS. I miss the HUD I had on the GS F Sport. Tired of moving my hand and looking down at the speedo to see my speed.

+1 on the HUD.
Position, brightness and some display options are all adjustable. Like you can see speed only if you want.
When tach and speed on, the tach part changes to volume when you change the volume on the steering wheel plus shows the station and the source when you change it on the steering wheel. Shows for a few seconds then goes back to tach.

I love it.

The HUD is a useful tool, but not a crutch. You don't have to take your eyes completely off the road to check your speed. IMO it is a useful device, but certainly not a necessary one. On the silly side, it also tells you what gear you are in, which I find useless, but it does give you navigation prompts which can be useful to some. It was already on my car when I bought it, and I'll have to admit I kind of like it..... but not sure if it is worth the extra money.

I have the HUD and like it, but I wouldn't have let it stop me from buying my GS if it didn't have it. Other options were more important to me.

For those of us who like to drive in manual, it's a blessing. I find that I drive in manual almost 50% of the time.

I can't believe HUD isn't available on the LS...It seems almost like that would be standard in that class.

Ordered mine to get it. Love it. Would not have a car without it.
