Well the last 4 years have been an experience but sorry to say that I sold the GS today and am no longer the owner of a lexus vehicle. It was tough to let the red wagon go, but I thought it was for the best.

you know what... that i drive isnt as hard as everyone makes it out to be. I have personally diven one of those and its not that difficult. its like looking at your computer screen and using the mouse for all the functions. I personally love the idrive and think they should put them in all the cars.

I don't think it's a matter of just the ease of use that turns people off to the iDrive concept. I know my father had his brand new 745Li
(long wheelbase) in and out of the shop 5 or 6 times just in attempts to fix the various bugs in the iDrive software alone.

hopefully Manny you will have better luck than he did. We'll miss ya'.
