My new LS will have a nav screen and with my obsessive compulsive personality I was worried that the finger prints on the screen may drive me nuts.

So it was a great relief to hear that this is not a big issue and that regular cleaning is all that is needed.

As I do a bit more than 'regular' cleaning of my car now, finger prints will not be worry. Thank you Helmar.

 

with all due respect .. the new LS is PERFECT

 

No car is perfect.

 

#2: I was very thrilled for lexus not following the i-drive.
I'm not tech-retarded but give me the touchscreen any day.

Maybe the joystick that the new X5 will have might be neat?

As for the smudge on the screen? I don't know how dirty your fingers are but my screen is not dirty at all...even after typing the destinations, setting the temp. speed, doing the nav-bypass..., it's not dirty

Do you guys have peanut butter on your finger or something

The only gripe is the "I agree" button that I placed a clear screen protector over
And voice recognition is weak compared to the bmw and mb, but doesn't bother me.

 

A clear plastic protector over the 'I agree' area is a brilliant idea.

Of course living in Canada, I will be wearing gloves during the winter months. Yes, I plan to use the new LS as much as possible during the winter with snow tires.

I am assuming the 460 will be handling better then my current 430 in the snow. I will update you on this in a few months!

 

Ah, yes, I forgot about the voice recognition.

The BMW voice recognition is far superior to Lexus. The BMW recognizes what I say about 95% of the time, while with the Lexus, it was barely 5%.

In fact, in the BMW, the only thing that makes the i-Drive tolerable is that the voice recognition system is so good, I often don't have to use the i-Drive.
