Default CNET LS 460 video...

Similar to the others, but this one does show the rear sunshade and drop-down RSES monitor in action...

http://reviews.cnet.com/4660-11443_7-6417079.html

Additionally, I found out that the 'power rear door closers' are not just those available on the 430 UL. They are actually button-operated closers which can close the door fully, like a Rolls Royce.

As indicated here: http://www.mysanantonio.com/business....21034e82.html

WOW...nice video and read. Interesting stuff. I do wish the rear monitors were put into the rear headrest from the factory like the Maybachs and certain Volvos, but you cant have everything. And how it is configured now, there are many cars in its price range that cant touch it.

indeed, i wonder if it's better on the headrests, but then it's going to be smaller

Yeah the smaller screen size should be the only downside, but by going that route you gain:
1. a monitor, and possibly a different video source, for each of the two rear seat passengers
2. the ease of looking straight rather than having to turn your head to watch the screen
3. the possibility of a panoramic sunroof

I say the gains much outweigh the slight 2-inch loss of the screen size. Hopefully Lexus will listen.
