The upgrade leather is far better in feel and comfort than the standard leather IMO. Check it out before you buy one. How do the others feel who have it??

The leather is much softer and has a feel of its own and the seat extenders in the front are just great. I have them fully extended all the time and the seats feel a lot smaller with out it being extended. You do not hear much about the extenders but on a trip they are great as they extend the seat almost to your knee area.

This will be a must for our RX as the seats in the 07 are way too short. I think the RX is the last Lexus to finally get this feature.

i dont think the extender is available in the IS or the ES

and the GX and the SC should be without them either because they havent been redesigned

they are definately necessary for taller people.

I do believe it's very useful feature, too.

My ES350 with the Ultra Luxury package has the driver seat extender. It looks just like the one in the Avalon Limited.
