Saw the new Altima ad with a alert feature that tell you when you've reached the recommended air pressure with a horn beep while adding air to a tire.Nice feature.
There's a couple of other nice features on the Altima.

 

I think that was first introduced on an infiniti model, and yes that is pretty brilliant engineering

 

I like that featurue as well. A little off topic, but the new Ford Escape has that foot trunk opener thing. I wish my Mazda had that. I love it when things make my life a little easier.

 

Yeah, that's neat. BMW 3 series started that with the 2012 models.

 

Really? Thats awesome!! I was thinking more for just when Im loading big things in the trunk on the truck but even when your carrying bags and trying to open your trunk its convenient.

 

That's the frustrating thing with Toyota/Lexus.
Much less expensive vehicles have nice features not in a Lexus.
Nissan,now the Honda Accord with it's blind spot camera.Then you have S550 amenities that blows away the LS..

 

nice feature, but it must be annoying for modders who put different wheels/sensors in and don't use factory spec psi hah

 

2012 M class has this feature as well. I wonder who invented it first

 

Apparently Ford did.

 

yes of course, Altima has ez fill, accord has camera and S550 has some other stuff better LS.

Its like every toyota/lexus has to be better than every other car, combined.

do the audi/mb/bmw have blind spot camera? or ez fill? or 12.3" screen? or......... you cant ever win.

 

Ford didn't invent it, they're one of the first to get the technology from a supplier and offer it on a vehicle.

Early results are that a lot of women don't like the kick under the car system, especially if they're wearing heels. If they're on rough pavement they can lose their balance. Also, the elderly usually have to put a hand on the car/trunk to kick under, which can hinder the door/trunk from opening, defeating the purpose. Also, some people wearing sandals, etc are burning their feet when kicking too far under the car and hitting a hot muffler.

 

Well,by your posts,you seem to feel all Toyota and Lexus models are better than every other car, combined..

 

The new Accord Touring has LED headlights. (no, not just DRLs--headlights too). They never even offered HIDs, and they jump to LED headlights. Seems like maybe Honda is finally reading all the forums...

 

I would probably never buy any of NA Toyota's myself, is that a good answer? ;-).

But still, it is unfair to mix and match like that.

 

The first somewhat negative Toyota/Lexus post from you I've ever read.

You have to admit that Lexus is slow with luxury and even safety options.Also the 12.3" screen is nice but only 8" is NAV.I feel the whole screen NAV with a split screen option would be much better.
