Although I love my 2010 RX350 I have to agree with Curmudgeon about the center console. You really can't keep much in there if you want to go find those cables. I've begun letting them hang out, but it doesn't look great.
I'm still ticked that my DroidX Android phone can not be connected as a Bluetooth phone and music player at the same time. The BT phone works well and it doesn't bother me to find the phone number on the phone and press call versus having the car do it.
My other big complaint is that they made the dashboard buttons so small. I had a 2007 before and it was very well set up. The small buttons are not very intuitive at all.

By no mean is Lexus perfect, but what you guys are complaining about are minor issues. Overall, the design of the interior is not too bad. The electronics can use a lot of work. Lexus can start with getting rid of the motion lockout of many of the functions. I know its for my own safety but why can't my wife enter in destination when she is in the passenger seat?

A couple of weeks ago, my brother and his wife were visiting before continuing on a trip out west, and they both have iPhones; and, of course, my sister-in-law immediately upon sitting in the passenger side of my 2010 RX needed to plug her phone charger in to charge her phone. I can't tell you how many curse words flew out of my mouth trying to take everything out of the damn console to try to get to the bottom of the thing and trying not to undo my own charger. We probably had to go through this about three times for each different time they rode in my car. Such a design flaw!!!
My sister-in-law even joked that that might stop her from buying this car once my lease is up(that is, if I do decide to turn it back in!)
Even she couldn't believe how difficult it is to change out the chargers in the bowel of hell down there.

Nope. 50MPH. Out west, it is possible to be in areas out of cellfone/sos/desitnation assist range, and have a flat. For example, somewhere between LA and Las Vegas or LA and Phoenix....etc.
