    I usually love techno-stuff, but I dislike the LKA. My 2012 is far more unstable with LKA on than off. The electric power steering is already numb, and adding niggling little internal nudging wiggles from some computer is irksome, distracting, and, in the end, frustrating. Just like the great 45 phonograph player in my '60 Imperial, LKA will die a quiet death. A worthless complicated gadget looking for a reason to exist. "What were they thinking?"

    I like my LKA but it is not too useful. I wonder if that's why the Advanced Parking Assit feature offered on the 2010-2011 Fives bit the dust.
