Well you'd very rarely use the trunk release as SmartAccess is so much easier. And the fuel door--depends on how much driving and refueling you do. Plus the angle of this photo...just defending lol. Your points are valid, I hope it is convenient enough, if not Lexus' standard very convenient!

 

when the sun beats on it for a while. Leather doesn't go to extremes as much but the wood is not really cold in the winter either. On the 600hL the proper way to open the gas filler door is to let the chauffeur stoke the fire.

 

umm, i think both my gs400 and sc430 are about the same location?

 

most cars its all the way on the floor, i would want these controls to be away from other buttons, dont want to accidently push one of these driving

 

Your right, I just noticed that. I think its the angle of the photo. Now that I think about it, its in the same place they are in my LS, and I like where they are.

 

You're right. But I thought they dropped them further down from the angle of the pic.
