I have the D-2 in my 1996 LS400 and it's great. I hate the iPod interface, but it looks like they fixed that with the D3.... you won't be disappointed it's a great system! - Mark

G Man- Thanks for getting back to me! I'm glad to hear it.... espeically since I put my deposit down today!! :-) Did you get a chance to drive it in the snow? How did it handle? - Mark

I have the same concerns about my new GS350 (my first Lexus). It has way too many flaws for a $50K automobile which makes me wonder how reliable the rest of the car is/will be over the coming years. I have owned BMW's, Acura's, and Mercedes and I must say I am a bit disappointed in the GS350. Problem is, I love the way it looks inside and out. But, I have never been so frustrated with a car as I am with the GS350. Let's start with the Rain Sensor wipers that don't work here in the Pacific Northwest...... I've never had an issue with my Lexus. 123, I read your large post... and those seem like issues with feature implementation more than the reliability concerns that I'm trying to feel out. Some might qualify as "bugs" or "glitches".... but the car drives like a dream, and I just want to see it keep driving like a dream for the next 5 years or so. :-) And DavidN... aren't we all rich if we're getting Lexi? ;-) And,

so... I've driven the GS 350 AWD, and I love it. BUT... I have some concerns about its reliability. Consumer Reports ratings are less than stellar, and I find that rather concerning. I'm current Lexus owner, and I've had NO problems, and quite frankly I'm surprised to see a new Lexus getting hammered so badly.... Any thoughts from the real world? Thanks, Mark
