I actually got to sit in the Branew HS at SEMA last week. The HS in Japan obviously gets a lot more cool features we never get here in the USA. I know that Black w/Black Birdseye maple is not an option for the HS in Japan, but Branew made their HS very desireable...
Auto folding mirrors:
Black birds eye maple wood on steering wheel w/black interior:
On top of the plasmacluster ion generator, there is also an air "clean" function including an auto vent fresh/recirc mode:
TV tuner and Mini Disc slot.
Different emergency (Lexus Safety Connect USA) button and interior alarm cancel:
In-Cabin accessible - Emergency flare
Passenger-side memory seating and black birds eye maple trim:
Electronic Toll Collection card slot:
Front seatback cargo nets:
More photos to come.

I like it now that I looked at it again. Not bad. With the styling like this the owner will need all of the help they can get

It really bugs me that Toyota de-contented the USA model so much. When fully loaded, the HS approaches $50K, yet it's still not possible to get a wood steering wheel, there's no smog detector in the A/C, no seat cushion extender, no passenger seat memory, etc. It seems that marketing really wants to ensure the HS is lesser than the ES in the lineup, which is a shame.

Very true. My coworkers used to tease me about my "Lexus Camry". Then, I gave one guy a ride to a meeting one day. He was blown away by the features, comfort, quietness, etc. When we reached our destination, he remarked "Wow, I had thought that Lexus was just an expensive Toyota". Of course, technically this is true, but there's a reason why it's expensive.

great pics! the black wood trim would look excellent with black interior. i particularly like the auto folding mirrors and the ion air cleaning technology.
