Why Is Lexus So Inconsistent Across their Models?
my original post is not talking about options per se, they are just part of the larger problem. Its the fact that even things as simple as design is not consistent because lexus values cost savings more than consistency.
If you look at the turn signal stalk across the C class and the S class, they will have the same function -- the 3 turn signal click.
Now that the GS has it, the new ES still lacks this function.

I have to agree with you, it makes no see for the ES to not have the same turn signal as the GS.

But back to the topic, the inconsistency in some of the features that offered in Lexus models really bother me as well. If they don't make it standard, say "LED' DRL/headlights, at least make it an option across the line, let people who wants it to pay for it. Yeah, it adds production cost but just charge whatever would be profitable, I am sure people who really like the feature wouldn't mind paying whatever they are asking for.

you guys can make fun all you want, but we are talking about a brand that is supposed to be focused on the details. I dont understand how there can be so many details that are missing.
they dont even have it make it standard or even an option on all models, AT LEAST MAKE IT AVAILABLE ON THE HYBRIDS, unlike the new ESh! Why do they go through all the trouble of making every other hybrid available with the option but leave the ES out! does not make sense whatsoever

We are joking b/c I think we all agree there are inconsistencies. Not a big deal, do people expect 100% compliance? They still do a great job in most aspects.
What is utterly ridiculous is trying to bring up some odd comparisons that are so stretched Mr. Fantastic is laughing.

You would be right if it was available on ES but not on GS... but since it is vice versa, it is understandable.
I think Lexus does a great job of covering little details.
Who doesnt? Toyota. Yaris Hybrid has blue stiched seats, steering wheel, handbrake... A lot more expensive Auris Hybrid? Black stiching and plastic handbrake.... Yay for Toyota! They need to setup a committee for that, seriously.

Because the CT is a glorified Prius (which can be optioned with LED headlights) and the ES300h is a glorified Camry Hybrid (which comes equipped only with halogens)!
(But then again, the JDM/Asian Camry Hybrid does come standard with LED headlights...)
