Default Anyone actually use rear seat?

I think the Executive Package is super cool, but does anyone actually use it? Lexus would have had asian and European markets in mind where buyers of this class of car have a driver and sit in the back seat. Americans prefer to drive themselves, so what is the point of all the rear seat amenities?

Are you all just putting your kids back there in the reclining seats?

You can only use the reclining seat if the front passenger seat is pushed all the way forward, rendering the front passenger seat useless. The recliner Makes it a 4 passenger car instead of 5. Yes it's a cool factor, but for me it was useless and a non necessity.

When I was out shopping for mines, I came across a really nice executive for not much more than mines but I couldnt see getting it and not using it besides the WOW factor. The only people that ride in my back seats are my sons and they shouldnt have to ride in luxury. LOL. I even straighten their seats whenever they recline the rears from my button up front and theyve yet to figure out how it happens.

My fiancee, sisters, and parents take advantage of the massager in the rear whenever I drive them out. I've gotten to use it once when I had a little too much to drink and the fiancee drove me home.

i use mine whenever my wife is driving and vice versa, and also when im on lunch break and need a break away from the office, the truth is it is really a WOW factor to everyone that is able to see it. It has its benefits
