In various cases Toyota has opted to drop the folding seats in the name of rigidity and/or noise reduction. For example in the Corolla, they have 60/40 split folding seats, but on the 05-06 XRS models, they put in a brace and put in non-folding seats. In the Camry it has folding seats, but in the ES they put in the non-folding seats with a pass-through.

Most (if not all) Lexus sedans do not have folding seats. Sucks for storing things, but I guess Toyota thinks (correctly or incorrectly) more people care about cabin noise and stiffness than storage in their Lexus.

I don't like the fact that there's no folding seats either, but then i wouldn't really want to fold my seats down anyways. Sometimes if you leave the center pass through down with a couple drinks or something in it, it will leave marks on the bottom part of the seat after you put it up from sitting there. They go away, but i hate it, and i wouldn't want to put weight ontop of the back part of the seat, would probably leave crazy marks/dents in the bottom portions leather.
