I'm new to Lexus and considering purchasing either an '03 or '04 IS 300
Sportcross.  I'm interested in any insights as to known issues with this
model that I should be aware of.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if it is possible to exchange the driver and passenger
seats (i.e., are they identical or L and R) ?
Actually of course I am only talking about the leather covers(/cushions??)
and such ... I realize that the positioning controls ARE obviously L and R.

I have a 2005 ES 330 with a mild case of the Lurch.  My dealer's rep told me
that the software update for this problem was revise sometime during the
past year, and it is improved over the prior update.
Has anyone had this revised update installed?  If so, how did it do?  Last

I live in the Los Angeles area and need to start pricing the 90k service on
my 2002 GS300. What is the standard dealer pricing for this service. I have

I have a 2002 ES300 purchased new 4½ years ago. I realize that
batterys are seriously affected by summer heat and I am considering

i'm leaning more towards is350 since the new model just came out and
won't change for another 4-5 years. if i get the TL now I'm afraid
acura may come out with the new model in 2008. or maybe i should just
wait for the 2007 G35? i hear there's a new look on the 2007 G35. what

I just bought a new 400H, supposedly pre-wired for XM radio. I called the
dealer today for a cost estimate, and was told that they had just had a
meeting and considered installation of XM in the 400H to be contraindicated,
because of the complexity of certain electrical issues. ...

Has the ES 350 (which was supposed to be officially released as of
Friday) actually made it to any Lexus dealers yet?  It hasn't shown up
at the local dealer (J.M. Lexus in Margate, FL) yet, but when I went
there to see if I could see one of them, their salesmen made a strong

I have a 2002 ES300 and I'm wondering how compatible the 2005+
headlight and taillight assemblies are.  These seem to be about the

I am planning on buying either an IS350
or a GS300. Can 2 golf bags fit easily into the trunk of either car?
I am currently driving an Avalon and routine maintenance costs are

I saw some pictures of the new design of the SC430 a couple of years ago and

What is the scoop on the new Lexus shown at the NY auto show and
described on CNBC today? It is supposed to compete with - be better
