If these minor issues are the reason you have a love/hate relationship with your Lexus then you really should be thankful.

By standard model, I simply mean not the F Sport. By not getting the F Sport, you can get things like memory seats, fog lights, seat ventilation, etc.. I would have had to give up those items had I bought the F sport.

For me, the F Sport felt like a downgrade. I wasn't willing to give up the luxury features to get AVS and the F Sport appearance items.

Why Lexus has not put forth great efforts to resolve these concerns is beyond me. It is a **** poor issue that should not have dragged on for over a year.
You'll probably get a pretty good trade-in price for your Lexus when you buy your new Chevy Sonic.

I hope that the "Sonic" name isn't a tipoff to the amount of racket the car will produce after 25 to 30,000 miles. That'd just be mean.

I never understand people that make comments like this. Well...if you like how a car works, YOU SHOULD TRADE FOR IT!!!!!

No, the person simply stated that they were impressed by how the other car worked, and wished theirs did the same.

Furthermore, lets stop the pointless Chevy bashing without premise

Furthermore, people are so quick to state that GM is government motors and ect. But you won't really take the moment to think about...what would have happened if GM would have gone under? Do you know the number of manufacturing jobs that would have been lost just at their plants (all around the world)? The number of engineers who would have lost their jobs? How many people that work at dealership that would have lost their jobs? Do you know the amount of secondary product suppliers that would have lost huge contracts, such as ZF for transmissions, or engine block providers. Those companies would have lost revenue and therefore, had to lay people off.

Realize that the government saved GM to save a large part of the american workforce.

So I think what you meant to say is "When the American people invested in General Motors, in order to keep the country's automotive workforce safe, Chevrolet seems to have gotten ipod integration operating correctly"
