As for Lexus and technology. I have been a Lexus customer since 1998, I have never known Lexus to be a company that leads on technology. Every Lexus I have ever owned has been short on gadgets and features based on the competition. And except for a time maybe around 2001-2003 their infotainment has always been behind, since there was infotainment. infotainment has never been a strong suit of this brand- agreed. ML stereo used be be fantastic, but now dumbed down and not worth it. Toyota/Lexus does not update their tech quickly enough IMO. I know people that upgraded to new vehicles, simply because Apple Car Play was offered in a new version. To some people. It’s all about the tech and less about the actual car and driving characteristics. Most of my friends and coworkers are getting into a new car every 3-4 years, simply to get the latest and greatest in gadgetry. |

Where is the hard button for the LS460? Yes, all the others should be shamed as well for not having a button to turn it off. A touch screen button or hard button is the same IMO.
Its just not a control most people use regularly or at all, and thus its removed in an effort to reduce button clutter. Whats the difference between touching a button with your finger and touching a button with a cursor? You can also just say "turn air conditioning off" and it turns off. |

Relentless pursuit of perfection is long gone. Still a great company overall, but other automakers have caught up. Toyota/Lexus taking their foot off the pedal. |
....as expected lets flame the OP, and then the OP unleashes the next set of qualms against TMCo.
The current setup sucks....RTI or Remote Mouse///Fine. Its a great idea, meant to differentiate itself from the clicky controller setup everyone else went with after with BMWs Idrive. Yes, you can train the system, and fix up the initial shortcomings, heck Toyota finally is launching carplay etc etc...however the same journos we claim to be bias, probably spent equal parts of time in each vehicle. and If those other vehicles are easier out of the box, then yes then those metrics arent really flawed, all they represent is that the Lexus interface needs fine tuning and does not work out of the box, just like all 2019 models before October production for carplay (lol). Plus, most delivery specialists dont really touch too much on the fine tuning bits of RTI. However Lexus could care less...its not like sales have been impacted in any way possible for them to give this a second look. Most owners probably just pull up their phone and deal with it. |

Clearly you haven't experienced the latest Remote Touch which regained it's side enter buttons, and the second generation RTI track pad on Gen10 equipped vehicles which is worlds better than the clunky first generation. It's by no means perfect, but it does it's job. Plus for the most part there are voice commands or physical buttons for most things.
If it makes you feel better. Lexus will overhaul their infotainment system and include touchscreen again supposedly around the time the next generation 5RX comes to fruition. Even this Toyota 1985 EMV beats RTI from 34 years go. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...b6c05518e8.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...5f35596e9b.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...a1f9e7698b.jpg |

Somehow I use mine everyday with no issues. I guess I’m some kind of genius or something lol Absolutely takes no more than 30 minutes to learn to use Lexus system. |
I like my naturally aspirated V6. I don't want a twin turbo.
I really don't care when it was designed. If others want that, there's places to go get that. Other brands may have more cutting edge (or bleeding edge) tech. But rarely the reliability. There are few products in the economy that are both cutting edge and highly reliable. |
Lexus system is so hilariously bad, I'll never touch the brand with a 9 foot pole. Not to mention their entire product line is mediocre at best.

Yet, you can remote touch your way to turn off the AC in the a Lexus. Its a cost cutting method by Lexus.

Why aren't you discussing the fact that there is no hard A/C compressor button in Audis, Mercedes, uConnect equipped Mopar vehicles, Land Rovers, Jaguars, etc? The reason there's no hard button is its meant to be a very seldom used if ever used button. My LS460 has a hard button. Never use it.

You mean turn off the system, or turn off the A/C so that just the fan is blowing? Because if it's the latter, I'm not sure who does thiS
