Honestly, when someone is serious about spending this kind of cash for a car, what we have to say isn’t likely to sway a vote. We drove this Lexus because we needed to learn what the Japanese luxury maker considers state-of-the-art, and we wanted to try the self-parking feature that is so heavily touted in advertising. Unfortunately, because our test vehicle was a pre-production unit, its equipment spec didn’t exactly match what people are likely to find at the dealership. We still don’t know how the slick self-parking feature works, but we know that brake-by-wire technology is still a dynamic buzz-killer.
