Auto folding mirrors on 2IS
on the lexus web site it says that the lexus is 250 has auto folding mirrors with puddle light. what is the auto folding part mean?Do thay fold in some how when the car is put in park?
This is an option in non-U.S. markets.
In Europe, parking is hell. Squeezing into spaces is tough, and auto-folding mirrors help the car fit into narrow spaces.
In the U.S, we have open roads and lots of space (with the exception of NYC and San Fran). It was an option that Lexus deemed "unnecesary," but it would have been nice as an option...

The Australian spec cars also have this feature. There is a button next to the mirror angle adjuster which, when pressed, folds the both side mirrors towards the car. It is quite useful to prevent ppl banging into them when they walk between cars. I see lots of ppl with handbags/bags that often bang them to mirrors when they walk past.

So many different international specs, but why? My IS 250 has autofolding mirrors, parking sensors, rear camera, bluetooth phone, voice activated phone/satnav/media, Mark Levinson, illuminated scuff plates, leather, rear blind, HID beams that track, memory seats that are heated and ventilated etc...
