Are you being facetious? Activating the wipers or moving the seats in a nonToyota isn't complicated at all.I don't find that the 500 reminds me of the LS too much, other than their both being very fine cars! First of all, the 500 has great head and legroom, so that's your first indication that it isn't a Lexus! LOL Seriously though, I've spent 30 minutes or so behind the wheel (test drive) of a 500 LTD and loved every second. I've always liked Tauruses, so what's not to like about a larger and better Taurus built on a great chassis! I could see how the little 3.0l Duratech would be too slow for some (although 0-60 in just over 8.5 seconds is pretty good for an almost 4,000lbs car.), but if you are concerned that you are going to lose the race to the punk in the moded Cavilier next to you, you should probably look past the 500. Considering that the LTD model is just over $27k before incentives, it's a lot of car for the money. I'm certainly going to look at one when I get rid of my LS in a few years!
