is the PCS advanced like the new LS? -- meaning will it come to a complete stop?

also when you mentioned one shot address entry, does than mean you can say the full address in one line for voice command?

Unfortunately no, that would be Advanced PCS (literally the name), versus PCS which simply determines a frontal collision is unavoidable and preemptively retracts the front seat belts and prepares the Brake Assist the moment the pedal is pressed.

Yessir. Press the "push to talk" button, say "Enter an address" then say the full thing ex "17 daisy court, danville, California" done

No leather option on the F Sport...how weird is that?

I also don't understand Lexus' war on sunglass holders...

And why does it need that entire space on the console?!? My 2010 ES had room for the button AND the sunglass holder!

My area (Tucson) doesn't seem to have much HD radio options. If I prefer to spend $$ can I get XM/Sirius in the 3IS?

Great Information. Did you get a chance to listen to the ML stereo in the 3IS?

Yes, It bangs hah. I couldn't put it past Volume 33 it was loud and clarity was good. Similar to the ML on the 4GS

Thanks for the review. I can't use the sunglasses holders because my oakleys don't fit so not a biggie for me

Glad to hear that Lexus didn't drop the ball on the ML system like they did on the ES.
