Good credit to Kia for making this 1980 (compared to Asia and European markets) technology widely available.
Thank you!!! You got my point.

Here's his instagram photo. A little small, but a nice collage. We clearly see "Lexus" written on the bolt and the Shimamoku wood! Nice touch

when you say courtesy light, are you referring to a light that comes on when the engine goes off / doors open? if so, i'd be shocked if the nx didn't have this. or are you talking about puddle lights on the underside of the side mirrors?

as for sunglass holder - i'd bet 99% of people who have this feature NEVER use it. as for heated rear seats, there's not that many vehicles period that have this feature. and again, i expect you are in a tiny, tiny minority for whom this feature is important.

i don't even remember seeing a vehicle with heated rear seats except a hyundai/kia maybe and high end flagship luxury vehicles.

You're right. A GS and NX would be a nice duo
