Seriously...once you get used to driving the LS its hard to go back to driving another car, even other Lexus models.
Thats why I try to avoid driving them lol

Thanks everyone for the feedback and answers to my questions.
I will try the seat setting this weekend. I will also explore options about adding blind side mirror, will keep you posted.
On LKA, one user successfully added it to his 600h. But he claims in order for that to work car must have driver monitoring module on the steering wheel, which I don't have.
On a different note, my car's obsidian (black) paint is 3 stage including clear coat, confirmed by Lexus. I have seen few posts in CL questioning whether black is clear coat or single stage. At least on 2012, it has clear coat.
Also, I got extra FOB key programmed. Purchased at Sewell with CL discount at $103 and paid $65 at local Lexus dealership to program it.
Question on silver paint to have gloss look, it is hard to achieve based on my experience. My GX is silver. I tried various waxes including Zaino, but it wont give glossy look. If I remember correctly, some where I read about Lexus/Toyota silver paint to be more matt than others. I am not sure if it is the same for newer models.
Even though black looks beautiful when clean, it is going to be a battle for me to maintain that way during NE winter time.
Oh BTW, that ML system blows me. I do have ML on GX as well. But this one stands apart. If anyone is looking in to LS and loves music, ML is must have. Bass may be little turned down, but clarity, instrument separation and sound stage is beautiful. I have Oppo with B&W speakers. I feel, with limited testing, ML is notch above my home setup.

Congrats and welcome.
I too have a black LS. Didn't want black, but couldn't be picky due to the sweet deal I got. Definitely a full time job to maintain! I will be trying out a Klasse treatment in the next little bit in preparation for winter. We'll see how it turns out.
