Well...I read the threads, took the test drive and bought a 350 back in Sept. 06. My previous car was an '04 LS.
Candidly, this K car has been a huge disappointment and will likely be th end for me and Lexus.
Here is my story.
1) On delivery, the Navigation Voice Command did not work.
2) The drivers side air vent was loose and constantly coming away from the dash.
3) There were TWO separate rattles coming from under the dash.
4) The drivers seat memory did not work.
5) The headlights were completely out of aim.
After three separate trips to fix these items, the headlights are still dangerously dark (they tell me is a design flaw in the high end "moving" headlights) and I feel at risk every night I drive the car. And, the Navigation Voice Command is entirely useless, even though they say it's now "updated"
The worst part is, I live in Denver and everything this car touches, destroys it.
Since my purchase, both my rear muds flaps have disappeared. My front bumper was "demolished" just my rubbing on a snow pile while parking AND the entire "plastic" strip that runs below the driver's side door is loose and damaged to the point of replacement.
After taking the car to a body shop for an estimate that totaled over 2K in repairs, I was told that this car is being reported as "flimsy" and "fragile".
Personally, I'm done. Just thought I'd share.
This "toyota" may run well, but I can't help but be envious of my "American" car driver friends who seem to still have cars that feel like cars, and not plastic toys.
