AUTO SPIES WORLD EXCLUSIVE: The coolest hidden feature on the 2006 Lexus GS



As we were perusing the inside of the 2006 GS we found this hidden jewel.

Check out this secret fold down compartment for mirror/seat/other controls to the left of the steering wheel...

Wicked cool!

I find it more amazing.......BMW I Drive ..more like I can't drive if I want to change the station because I need a degree in Chris bangle to operate a simple function....or Audi MMI and Mercedes is in the works in the new s class with something similar. What ever happened to the straight forward approach. Hay lexus be more innovative when it counts. In this car I can imagine the calls now.......Hi honey uhhhHow do I change the mirrors and how do I get into the trunk because it is like going on a treasure hunt. Do they actually ask people who will use this to make it user friendly? They just don't get it. Thank god I can program my own vcr!

So what if Lexus is a toyota? I'm sure every car company would love to be like Toyota/Lexus/Scion. Toyota sells over 8 million cars a year in the world! 2.5 million cars in the U.S.! Toyota is expected to overtake G.M. within 4-5 years as world's biggest auto company! To make story short...If Lexus's Parents are Toyota then that's a pretty good thing I'ld say, wouldn't you?

"D.C. Portland - 1/2/2005 7:02:16 AM
Title: While I am driving
Comment: I do have to re-adjust my mirrors while driving when there are idiots behind me with high beam on or when I am blinded by truck headlights behind me.

Therefore, I hate this design."

Its not really a problem since lexus's mirrors are auto dimming.

'one big flaw in the cabin layout: A fold down keypad holding adjusters for the door mirrors, instrument panel lighting and some other items.

Aside from being quite flimsy (something I'm assured will be tidied) it's also not well-positioned. Apart from being set too low to be safely used on the move, it's way too close to driver's right knee and is bound to be banged up. It's hard to believe the luxury brand that's on the continual pursuit of perfection would take a step backwards in quality, but there you go.'
