Default Front 12v power port

Lexus you need to put in a front 12v port for fuzz busters and to charge computers etc. without having to open the console lid.
I now have a 2014 IS350 (and mostly love it) but will not buy a 4th Lexus without one port in the front and back needs one also.
I was going to get a 2015 RC F but might have to go elsewhere like a S5 or M4.

As workaround solution, you can get one of those 12V power externder/hubs.

So you're planning to completely ignore Lexus vehicles because it is missing ONE small thing that you want?

Do you know how many individual things people want in their own cars yet they are still happy with their vehicles overall despite it not being "customized" to their individual needs? Let's keep one thing in mind - we are talking about a mass produced vehicle here - it's not going to please everyone 100%.

I guess if the front 12V port is really that important to you, then by all means go for it, but this sounds absolutely silly. I'm sure there are work arounds you can accomplish with a 2015 RC F.

Btw, welcome to the forums. Hope you enjoy your stay.

It does sound silly just to get a German car for 12v, where you might be happy with one thing but then you might end up with hundreds of problems.
