Finally Found One Negative
There is no display for outside temp unless you set the nav to climate. No display in the dash or center console. Talk about nit picking!

that's weird. On all new lexus vehicles I have driven, a small outside temp is displayed on the center multi-information screen between the gauges.
This is how it looks on the RX

Koz is correct, the GX 460 doesn't display outside temp unless you push the climate button. That was one of my first calls back to the dealer to ask where the outside temp is displayed...
The other thing that bothers me, the mirrors don't have the auto fold feature like my LS 460.
One more thing, I haven't been able to order all weather factory mats or cargo liner and I've had my vehicle over 8 months.

The Lexus all weather mats are not worth the money. The Weathertech's or the Husky's are better mats that will last way longer, covers more of the floor, handle way more bad weather or mud and are more reasonable.

That's good to hear, I'll order a set of Weathertech floor liners online later in the week!

I got the Lexus all weather mats for my IS and they wore a hole in the driver's side heel area in one year. If you look at the ribs in the mats, they are hollow and thin. Also they will not hold anywhere near the liquid the Husky or Weathertech liners can. I have the Husky's and I'm very happy with them. They are a little more rubbery compared to the Weathertech and they are way less money. I got the front and back liners for $104 to my door. I have the Weathertech in my IS and they are great but they are harder plastic and get a little slippery when wet. I prefer the Husky.

Correct me if there already exists one but one of the most basic feature that I find missing is that there's no direct button on the front control panel to change the speed of the blower fan. There's one to turn the blower fan off but nothing to change the speed of the fan. Once has to go to the Climate menu of the ML/NV system and then adjust the speed even though it is one of the most basic functions. Instead of the FAN OFF, they could've made it a left press decrease and right press increase kinda button.

It's got to be around here somewhere.
I looked all over for the "Dual" button for heating temperature control. Finally had to resort to looking in the manual to find there isn't one for rear air conditioning equipped trucks. A little weird to me.

The auto LS mirrors fold every time you leave the vehicle, I would not want that. I like being able to fold them when I want. The auto feature is for Europe.

I shouldn't have a problem with them matching, I have a black interior.
