I made the mistake of telling my wife about that feature.

She got that gleam in her eye.

Oh well it is one hell of a car.

A polar opposite of the Boxster. hmm, maybe in black.

LOL

I did pull up the Lexus site. The parking feature is only available on the 460L, the stretched wheelbase model.

The gleam in her eye went away rather quickly when she saw the price, right at 80K w/o going nuts on the options.

Holy crap, it should not only park itself, it should come with a robot driver at that price.

Actually in todays world of 60 and 70 k Boxsters, it probably represents decent value, all things considered.

The new 460 is getting rave reviews in the automotive press.

I love my Lexus GS300 for what it is, an appliance on wheels. It's a perfect work car for me, comfortable, good economy, prestige factor, and it don't break. Mine was built in 97, looks the same as the 05 model. Most people think it's new or close to it. Perfect car for a sales guy like me.

Rick,

Looks like you can pick up the LS460 for $61k ( non L ) and add :

Navigation / Advanced Parking Guidance System - $3,815

Intuitive Parking Assist - $500

http://www.lexus.com/models/LS/features/pricing.html#disclaimer_3

And make the wife happy for $65k !

Nick
