More coverage of the area I am living in.

Even though not connected to the NAV system, I wish I could input phone numbers while the car is in motion.

I know you have Quick Access locations you can use while the car is in motion but is it possible to call up one of the saved "My Places" destinations using voice only?

I gotta think that is a really common scenario - you are going to a place you have stored but can't remember the address for (so you can't use the voice STATE-CITY-STREET-NUMBER process).

This pic from Lexus.jp I guess shows the passenger side memory. Of course it's a cinch to visualize it...frankly I could use this feature. (and being totally lazy I'd like a one-touch seat-move-forward and door-closing please. )

if i use that feature in my sc430 and gs350 relatively often, i am sure it's warranted in the ls460

I forgot to take pics of that at Taste of Lexus this past weekend. However, I did take a pic of the car and the AWD badging. It looks the same interior/exterior wise.

For some reason you are still unable to build an 09 LS

Yeah, I think they need to do some work on the website. It also doessn't include air-suspension in the specs on the AWD cars, but it does in the discussion of AWD.

As of Tuesday, my dealer still doesn't have brochures.

Air suspension is available only for LWB, isn't it?

Why would Lexus have left passenger seat memory off of their flagship sedan? I have three passenger memory settings on my 06 IS350, so they have known better for at least a few years.

I thought this thread would be bigger considering how much AWD threads we have had in the past.

Why is there a decrease in HP on the LS460 AWD?
