Both variants are great for long distance cruising and carrying rear passengers in comfort.

A Camry will always be a Camry, no matter how much hideous fake wood gets thrown in there, but Toyota also make some great luxury vehicles that don't make it to the US. The Crown is one, big luxo vans like the Alphard/Vellfire are also popular overseas.
Thank you.

The first time that I test drove an Lexus. The sales guy left my driver license out in the open on top of his desk. I had to Nicely ask him to lock up my driver's license in his desk. I don't see that much difference between Toyota and Lexus in terms of customer service.

Totally depends on the dealership.

Your actual license, or just the copy of it? You need to take your license with you during the test drive.

If the salesman you've been using isn't respectful of you, ask for a different one. Like in every other business, there're are good employees and the ones that just want the paycheck.

Two large size copies. Yes I took my actual driver license with me on the test drive.

I'll ask for another sales person

I noticed that in Texas I'm only finding the navigation system with the safety plus system. But on the west coast I can find a car with navigation without the safety plus system.

I was wondering why is that on the Toyota you can add the remote start for about 400 but there isn't a way to have that option on your Lexus es 350 without having to pay for the enform subscription of 219.00 per year.

Because they want to sell you the enform subscription lol.

Toyotas remote start is pretty terrible, I wouldn't sweat it.

How much is it to have the door side protectors added including time and labor? Also how much would it be to add a spoiler, too? I'm just curious.

Thank you

Curious enough to phone a dealer and ask? That's what I would do.

Is it just me or is it that white doesn't look that dirty after it rains. I'm having trouble with finding the color combination that I like with all black interior. But I was able to find the white pearl with all black interior. I've never had a white car before.
