Yeah, I don’t think it has VGRS, though oddly enough I found a fuse for it.

My 15 did not have HUD. So far I’m loving it though it takes some getting used to.

The triple LEDs are worth every penny. I thought the HIDs in my 15 were great, but these LEDs are insanely good. The look of them alone is worth the cost.

One disappointment so far is in displaying the radio/media screen on the large portion of the display. On my 15, I could just pull it over from the right. I cannot find a way to do that on the 19. The only time I can get it on the full display it also changes the source, which I don’t want it to do.

For example, when listening to Slacker. I want to pull it up on the large portion to change stations. I can’t just pull it over and do that. When I pull it up over there, it changes the source. Frustrating.

With that said, the remote touch is vastly improved on the 19.

I'm thinking he should install a large hood scoop,flames down the side and lime green wheels. 1970 Superbird wing would look cool too.

Probably just window tint.

And of course some nice, chrome curb feelers.

One other slight disappointment is the dome lighting. Much better in the 15. The overhead lighting was a nice and crisp white. More yellow in the 19.

Congrats! SGM is a great color, I was really glad they brought it back. Better than Nebula Grey IMHO...

Another thing ya gotta love about your 19 vs. your 15, is the LFA cluster, Naguri aluminum and updated steering wheel. The triples are to die for,really wish I had that option. My standard lights look so generic in comparison.

Thank you! I actually prefer Nebula Gray Pearl, but they didn't have any and it would have been too close to the color of my Highlander. SGM is darker than I am typically comfortable with, but I think I'll get used to it. Ceramic coating coming soon.

The new cluster is something else. It is surprising to me how much of an adjustment the digital speed display takes, as this is the first time I haven't just had an analog dial. The Naguri trim is nice, though I also liked the striated aluminum, though it could reflect the sun quite a bit (thankfully, you know, Seattle, not a frequent problem).

Freaking snow storm hits today. Arg. Schools are closed today, so my wife and kids are home, so I took her Highlander. The GS performs so well in this weather, but I just couldn't bring it out today and risk it getting hit.

Total bummer. Wouldn't want to take my new car out in it either. Going on a month since I've driven mine cause of the snow. At least you guys on the left coast don't get exposed to the constant salted streets like we do here. Spring is getting closer!
