(I wish, lol.) It also says the parking system is available to Japan only, which we know is not true as Bob Carter was boasting this feature in the New York auto show.Still, thanks for the great scans. Really enjoyed reading it.

BTW, good to know that the Land Cruiser had the first VGRS, even before BMW's Active Steering. People (me included) can't say Lexus copied this feature from BMW anymore.

Thanks Magneto and Enigma for helping me post the pictures . How did you post the pics like that in 1 post (By the way, I just scaned new ones today, they are clearer now and I would like to replace the old ones with the new ones; I also have a small article about the LS600hl, a brochure for the GS450h and a spotting of the LF-A supper car)
