We already established Audi has no lockout. They will next year when it becomes law.

Solid car but I do notice a few things as well during my test drive run:

1) Turn signal stalk

I had a few problems with it and I was worried that sometimes I would

2) Using Remote Touch to save a radio station preset

As a first timer, I found it a bit difficult to operate Remote Touch while driving the vehicle.........especially if I wanna search for a new FM radio station and save it as a preset. Also, it felt too sensitive (though I guess you can adjust the sensitivity settings of it in the setup options)

Still, I believe that Lexus should have retained physical buttons for presets 1-6

Aside from those minor gripes, the car feels extremely solid and well-built.

It's just too bad our F-sport version sold here (Philippines) gets those really ugly-looking 18 inch wheels (i.e. ghastly eyesores). Bummer

Yeah theres a learning curve and it does take getting used to.

I am with you on this. It's too cumbersome to get to the presets you want to and if you do toggle up and down the tuner button on the steering wheel, you have 36 stations to scroll through.

Yeah that's a Lexus Asia thing. I think you guys get power folding mirrors at least?!

They probably also get the damn power trunk too!!! Wheels can be easily changed, but power trunk and mirrors not so much!!!
