Your dealer can re-program your car to exactly do just that. I've had it done my previous LS, my current GS, and dont it at home with my newer LS.

Not sure about the early ones, but I was going about 45-50 the other day and couldn't get the cruise to engage. As soon as I shifted into drive, it engaged immediately.
I think it is speed dependent, because I used the cruise the next day in 3rd, but at a lower speed. Next time I drive it, I'll test it out for sure.

I tried it on the way to the track today. I was ~40mph when I engaged Cruise in 3rd gear (O/D off). I then accelerated via Cruise to 50mph.
Most cars won't let you engage Cruise under 35mph-40mph as PureDrifter suggested.

OK,
I just took a little drive, but this time the Cruise would not come on at any speed while in 3rd.(I must be going crazy) Anyhow, the cruise speed cutoff is indeed 25 mph, and the cruise only works with the car in "D"
You guys have the little button for OD right? It may be that the cars requiring shifter movement for OD/off also cut off the cruise. I like it because the darn thing is so smooth that somebody could run it a LONG time at high speed, and never notice that the OD is off. The 95-97 has no annoying OD/off light to tell you, just a green "3" right next to the green "D"

Lexus Test Driver
On 1995-1997 models, cruise control will auto-cancel if the gear selector is moved to any position other than "D." On earlier models, it will auto-cancel if the gear selector is moved to the "N" position. This is all according to the factory repair manual. 1990-1992 models have an "OD off" button on the back of the shifter, and 1993-1994 models have it relocated to the driver's side of the shifter.
