I made a slight correction; the LS 460 and LS 460 L in the US comes with a Smart Key (the one on the right) but not the Smart Card (the one on the left).



Also the LS 460 L in the Middle East gets an extra bumper opening, under the license plate:

Well I definitely like the Smart Card and DVD system on the Mideast version. If they could combine the best of both regions' features that would be great.

Very interesting, didn't know that. I wonder if the extra opening is due to the hot weather there, and to keep the car cool and reliable.
