Bob, I was referring to the Lexus Dealer fitted Reversing Sensors. The dealer told me there is a small indicator inside which is stuck onto the Rear View Mirror, with coloured lights to tell you how close you are to something (presumably with beeps as well). They were unable to provide me with pictures of how it looked inside the car. My partner then started talking about a Tom Tom Sat Nav unit for the car, and all of a sudden I pictured a beautiful interior fouled by wires and clipped on accessories. I bit the bullet and re-ordered the car with the Enhancement Pack. The ship arrived yesterday, so by mid-next week I should be on the road. Cant Wait. DB.

Does anyone have pictures of what the internal display of the Dealer fitted Rear Parking Sensor looks like for the IS250 (Prestige). Im thinking of ordering on the IS250 I just bought, but want to make sure it doesnt look (too) tacked onto the rear vision mirror, with a cable hanging out of the roof lining. I also hear the display can be mounted behind the steering wheel on the dash - has anyone done this - how does it look? Thanks DB.

I ordered the Prestige with Sunroof, tint and rear sensors in Granite. I didn't bother with the enhancement pack. I ordered the Prestige with Sunroof, tint and rear sensors in Granite. I didn't bother with the enhancement pack. ozis250, Rear sensors on the Prestige? Is that an option? I havent had any of the dealers in Sydney tell me about that. Ordered an is250 Prestige with 18" Lexus Mutispoke Wheels on Wednesday. Would love to get Rear sensors if possible, the car looks to be difficult to reverse into a tight spot due to limited rearward view. How much are they?

I can understand Lexus Aus needs to build in enough feature differentiation between the is250 models to justify the large price gaps, but why can they not offer a 17" or 18" wheel option on the is250 Prestige? Ive driven the car and absolutely love it, a definate sale for Lexus - on the proviso they offer a decent wheel package for the base model. Considering you get 17" wheels standard on a $27000 Ford Focus Zetec, and standard on pretty much every Japanese competitor $10K or so cheaper (Honda, Subaru, Mazda) as well as some Europeans (Saab, VW), wouldnt it be wise to have at least an option to squeeze an extra $1500 out of customers by offering them larger wheels. Im actually at a loss to find a Car Manufacturer that doesnt offer a wheel upgrade at all?? My partner works for the RTA, and speaks to car dealers daily. The Lexus dealer in the area has been saying since last November that almost every is250 Prestige customer has been asking for a larger wheel option, yet after more than 6 months, nothing has happened. At the very least, ring Lexus in Japan, ask them to send you 500 sets of 17" wheels, and charge customers $1500 for the upgrade. Keep the 16" wheels, you'll surely be able to sell them to customers or smash repairers if they have a damaged car in the future. Come on Lexus Oz, give us an option that makes a stunning car all the more stunning.
