2007 Lexus LS 460/460L

I haven't tried it yet, but I've been told that it takes so long to set up the system (30 seconds plus) its not as practical in function as it could be.

Yeah but it is safe to assume that the LS one is more advanced and quicker to set up (i.e. recognises the spot better to minimise adjustments)

The one I'm talking about is the LS system. I'm a forums manager a the Lexus Owners Club, I've not driven the LS460 but plenty of our members have and I haven't seen one person say the automatic parking is practical. Its cool, but not useful.

Well it IS an assist system. It never said it was to take over parking duties 90% of the time, although I can foresee people abusing it.

Just saw a new white LS460L and that thing is definetely WIDE, but not as long as an S600. Looks solid!
