basically he says it handles better than 2IS while being more comfortable than any version, even F-Sport is a lot more comfortable than before... he think this is the start of next-generation Lexus vehicles.

US models dont get LED backup lights, right or they are not exposed like this?



Nebula looks great:

I noticed that LED backup light too, but it doesnt make sense to put it on one side only...

Still trying to figure out which cars have those ugly headlight washers and which do not. The 250 I saw at a car show did not have them. I've never needed them and on this car they look like silver warts. Does anyone know what US trims these are on?

I thought I read somewhere that on AWD models in Canada there's some "All Weather" package that has them.

Nebula looks great:

The 4GS has this also. I believe it is the rear fog light required in Europe and Asia
