Thanks for the detailed response!

Was a very nice surprise as I didn't think they were that advanced.
I haven't noticed that but I fully intend to check that out tonight, thanks!

One thing I forgot to mention concerns remote start.

I have noticed that when I remote start the 19, it turns on the rear defogger/heated mirrors. I can't definitively state that my 15 didn't do that, but if it did, I never noticed it.

Love that color! My parents have the Flint Grey Mica color, which is a lot closer to your paint color, on their RX and looks amazing in contrast with chrome.

Thanks! TBH I’m struggling a bit with the color but I’m sure I’ll feel better about it once the weather turns better this spring.

Hey JDR, Do you wear polarized sunglasses? I have not tested the HUD in Lexus, but the HUD in my wife's former Avalon disappeared completely when I put on my Maui Jim sunglasses. Just wondering if the Lexus HUD was any different.

Nice car!

Thanks. And yes, the HUD washes out completely with polarized sunglasses. Time for a new pair of shades, I guess.

i wear polarized sunglasses from time to time too. it definitely dims it a lot but i can still see the speed at least. Put some 70% tint on your windshield and maybe you won't need sunglasses as much?

I live in Seattle. Trust me, it's not such an issue...

Someone on here in the NW should buy it. They just don't get much nicer than your old 15!

I gave very serious consideration to the GS F. I was looking at 16s, as they were about $55k. That V8 is awesome. My issue was in finding one without the red interior and not the blue exterior. Then I had a hard time with the thought of giving up things like AVS, seat cushion extender, heated steering wheel, rear sunshade, and AWD.

I thought about that and fuel economy too, a lot of lux features taken away. No reason you shouldant be able to have both, besides AWD, but when You don’t drive that much is it missed that much? With as much driving as I do I can’t imagine having 100 less miles of range, I’d be filling up at least twice a week!

I thought the gsf gsf has heated steering wheel?
