When the tire pressure light comes on, I would love to know exactly what tire is low. Acura and Infiniti tell you exactly which tire is low by displaying "Driver side front, passenger side back, etc. My boyfriend's Acura TL cost much less than my GS350, so Lexus definitely dropped the ball on that for me
. Even my friend's Jeep tells her which tire is the low tire.

But that's my whole point. Why did it take Lexus this long to put this feature on a luxury car???? Other luxury cars have had this feature for years! My friend's Jeep is a 2006 and it tells her exactly what tire. IMO, Jeep is not considered luxury tier. To me that's a small thing that bugs me. Lexus dropped the ball on that, even though they're finally putting this in 2014 and up models.

So today I was looking at our competitors and found out that there are things that they do better.
For instance, these window switches, buttons, from Merc looks way better tan my Lexus (not painted, no "design nor signs at all", dull, plain. cheap)
What are the things that you can't stand or you feel that the competition is doing better?
I don't think changing this things would cost a lot of money for Lexus but the gain and impact could be exponential.

In the first photo you posted of the C-class, I am more concerned with the fit and finish:

The only thing that bugs me about my car is small thing(s)
>Manual folding mirrors. I honestly don't know wtf a company the size of lexus was thinking by releasing a car that starts off at 47k with manual mirrors. Idc about it too much but theres times when theres a small parking space and i can't fit into it bc i don't wanna have to put my car into park, take my belt off and manually struggle to close the side mirrors from inside the car
can't think of anything else atm
3GS' have power mirrors. They put it on the new 14 gs and expect people to get excited and hyped up over it when its a feature thats been around for nearly a decade if not more
reminds me of when apple released the iPhone 4 and they were hyping up the flash like it was some new revolutionary invention when phones have had flashes for like 2-4 years at that time

Man the one thing I'd really like to see from Lexus is a wide range of colors/finishes on the interior. Benz offers the "Deisgno" option, which lets you pick through about 6 different shades of brown/beige and white leather, with some unique looking wood trim.
I know back in the day you could order your 1963 Cadillac in about 10 different interior hues, 20+ paint colors, 8 different cloth or leather upholestery options, etc. Basically you could make your car to your exact tastes.
Now days those sort of options are only presented to people who spend $150k+ on some hand made car like a Roller, Bentley, Ferrari , or Lambo.

It is so annoying how loud and quickly the seatbelt alarm comes on. This is part of the reason I sold my 2IS. My 335i's is much quieter and waits until you get rolling to remind you. BTW, I always wear my seatbelt, I just like to wait until I start to pull forward. Also, Germans are much less restrictive about what your Nav let's you do while you are driving... My wife's GL450 (as does my 3) lets you enter your destination while driving- which my wife normally does.
What do I miss about my Lexus??? The touchscreen Nav. Ahhhh. I loved that Nav system in the 2IS. iDrive is cool, but the 2IS was so damned simple and took no time.
I also miss my pearl paint job. I think Lexus paint looks so much more rich than MB or BMW. I think Caddy and Lexus have the best looking paint.
