sometimes i regret not getting navi...but when i think about it i'd only have it for looks really...its a pretty useless feature for me...nine times out of ten i can get to any place in the city...only plus i see to it is for long drives and POI's...but then again its a matter of getting the same info on my blackberry instead...

No regrets, just wish that Lexus was more flexible with their packages up here in Canada.

We have two X-packages, X1 and X2. I got the X2 which has leather/moonroof/pwr seats on top of the sports sus/18" wheels/illuminated scuff plates of the X1. We don't get the front spoiler like in the US, however we are not limited to certain colour choices.

Also, the X-package in Canada is stand alone and you CANNOT get additional options like in the US. Had I lived in the US I would have gotten the x-package with HIDs, which i really miss after owning an IS300 but really I'm shocked Lexus made HIDs an option for the 2gen.

Same here, I wish it was a stand alone option....

My estimation is that it will cost $5k or more after everything parts & labour. You'd have to replace the entire centre console since all those button controls will now be part of the Nav screen. Sounds too $$$ for me.

lexus should have did what infiniti did in the new G35, have the screen there and the dash the same whether or not you get nav. if you dont get nav then its just a nice info screen.

I agree with this. I think Acura does the same thing.

Probably the sport package with the spoiler option. I love the ground effects too.

The only thing I would have liked to have are the memory seats. My wife has it on her car and its pretty convenient when different drivers use the car. I just didn't want to buy any entire package for it.

ML and LUX, I miss the memorized seating system. I wish I wasn't so damn impatient and settled for the PREM.
