General Car Conversation
General Car Conversation thread guidelines (please read before posting)
The goal of this General Car Conversation thread is to provide an ongoing natural conversation about car related topics that ebbs and flows. The thread was requested by Club Lexus members to create a ‘general’ chat space for car related topics & tangents which allows continual conversation and will help keep other car chat threads on their more discrete and specific topics.
Posters should remember the following guidelines for posting in this thread:
1. Please keep the conversation related to motor vehicles in some way. Topics might delve into car financing, garages, detailing, and other car-related topics but personal (non car-related) conversations should go to PM or be posted in the Clubhouse forum.
2. Significant vehicle related posts should be posted as a new thread in the Car Chat forum. This includes industry news topics, new model releases, questions about car comparisons, vehicle reviews and other general topics that are likely to spawn a comprehensive and enjoyable on topic discussion. Use your judgement here, if you think something would make a good thread, create a new thread vs posting in here.
3. Lexus model specific questions should be posted in the appropriate model specific forum, not here.
4. Help new members understand how the forum works. When a new poster finds their way into the thread with a question that is better suited for its own topic in Car Chat or in a model specific thread, please help them by replying to their comment with a link to where they should post their question to get the most comprehensive responses, and report the post so moderators can review and potentially move their post to the right spot.
5. Remember that the CL rules of conduct still apply within this thread. Refrain from name calling, rude or offensive posts, flamebaiting, political or religious discussions and overwhelmingly dominating the conversation. Refusal to respect those rules could result in you being asked not to participate in the thread any longer. As a reminder, those rules are located here.
6. Once the conversation has naturally moved on from a topic, please respect that as you would any in person conversation and don’t try and drag it back where you want it to go.
7. When you are participating in other Car Chat threads, if the conversation begins to go off topic, please suggest that you and those who are involved take that conversation to this thread. It’s up to all of us to help keep the random car conversations here, and better maintain the topical continuity of the other car chat threads.
Please remember that the existence of this thread is predicated upon our ability to keep it clean and fun for everyone.

I almost did the same thing today, I had to drive out to Annapolis to look at a property and being on and off the phone I would have had to keep closing it. Beautiful day here today.

The Mercedes has two buttons but one is just for the rear sunshade which is kind of odd. The Pacifica has one for the sunshade and one for the glass. I like the two buttons for tilt/slide also

On the Tundra and the GS, it's two separate switches (one for tilt, one for sliding) but I think I would prefer one.
On the Highlander, the pano roof has a combo type switch for the tilt and slide function. Push it in for tilt, or pull it back/forward for sliding. It's very intuitive and easy to use. It has a separate for/aft switch for the power roof sunshade. I do like that.
