  1. Sorry to hear about that. Some items I'd prefer to not buy online (for example wheels and tires), and therefore I don't.
  2. Looks like the factory Civic nav, screen is 6.95 inches wide.
  3. A couple of weeks ago I had a Alpine 7" unit installed in dash of my commuter car. The dash piece/surround is part of aftermarket kit for the 2006-2011 Honda Civics. I like most aspects of the audio and Bluetooth, still getting used to the nav.
  4. Becki - Sorry to hear about the rock chip. Hopefully it can be fixed before it spreads. My IS has a few very small ones that I have left alone for years.
  5. My favorite pony car (being from a Ford family has a little to do with it), luv the new Mustang's style.
  6. Thanks, (not that I tried very hard).
  7. Nicknames for mine are Lexus, Mercedes, Honda or Civic, but I usually like variety in the fleet so I rarely have 2 vehicles from the same automaker/brand.
  8. Had me going there for a minute, good one, lol for April 1st. New Mustang is only pony car I'd consider owning (I did own a GT convertible years ago). .
  9. Certainly more aggressive looking that old RX, but the floating roof look is a bit busy busy....
  10. Yes, Lexus is trying to make changes based on good business.
  11. My Lexus dealership is having "Ladies Night" next month. Gift bags to the first 100 guests. Food, drinks, raffles, workshops.
  12. Joshua - Very VIP-style-like. Any suspension changes on the car?
  13. Sky - Make some progress on blacking-out that other bright trim on your car?
  14. Small turbo 4 configuration is dictated by need for fuel economy (versus a V6), if it's done well, no problem. IMHO turbo 4's and hybrids are critical in the mix to achieve high fleet MPG averages. I have driven recent Mercedes small turbo 4's extensively and they deliver the right combination of power, refinement and fuel economy. I expect Lexus (being a premium automaker charging fairly high pricing) can deliver the same with it's turbo 4's.
  15. Interesting, glad it was resolved. Ward - Tell us a little bit about conditions or usage of RX prior to big problem. Driving a lot on dirt roads? Parked outdoors a lot under trees, etc.?
  16. Once I accidently drove at slow speed under a tree with a bee hive with my moonroof open, fortunately I passed unharmed before I could even reach for the close button. Definitely got my attention...
  17. Best bet is check with your better custom tire and wheel shop to know answer for sure. They will know offsets, most likely they will fit with stock tire sizing. Lexus went with more aggressive offsets on wheels of 3rd gen IS (and rolled inner fender lip), in response to input from owners/tuner crowd.
  18. I remember the old American and German cars that had metal sunroofs with a folding crank to manually open/close. Now we push a button.
  19. Therefore, not a good idea (not that anybody was going to actually do it).
  20. Hey Bob, thanks. I must of slept through that redo. (I hope you are keeping them straight at CL, lol.)
  21. Looks the same to me. How old is this gen ES? What model year did current gen start?
  22. Somebody is braver than us. Maybe they will report in (alive would be nice, a sign of a successful dining experience)...
