Fold down back seats?

I would edit dunnojack's post but you did ask "am I a moron" 
They don't fold and sadly I don't think any Lexus has fold down seats. Some have a trunk pass through the center armrest. I wish they would let us have this useful feature but then I guess they want us to buy the RX as a 2nd vehicle

i've heard all kinds of BS about why there are no fold downs.
more weight? gimme a break. a few extra hinges isn't gonna tip the weight balance to 30:70
on the other hand, i guess you're not supposed to use a luxury car to haul crap

and even if it did rattle, it would only be at the latch, which is easy to fix with some foam.
the 5 series trunk is huge. and the shape of the trunk makes it useful. unlike our trunk, which is eaten up by the wheel wells.
5 series is large, AND has fold down seats

Fold down seats are like convertibles, they need extra structural support elsewhere. The GS's frame is not strong enough as it is, a fold down seat will just cause more handling and rattle problems.
