Welcome Lexus onwers......... lets do a headcount

[ichirosimon]

just went to lexus Penang last saturday. Met the salesperson. He told me the same thing. The 3rd generation lexus IS is not going for a new redesign until 2013. He told me to go for CT instead of waiting for the IS. Went for the test drive. Its "OK" but i still prefer the IS though. Furthermore the gov is now giving tax exemption for hybrid cars below 2000cc. He said it was a good buy. What do u guys think?

Hi, ichirosimon. Not sure have you decided to get the brand new IS250. My 1 cent comments for IS250 from LEXUS Malaysia as below:
Pro:
- Full size spare tyre
- Auto side mirror retract when car alarm is arm
- Rear fog lamps is available
- VDIM is available
- Navigation system with hard disk (if you buy the option)
- Bird's eye maple wood trim
- Improved paddle shift function
- USB port for AUX connectivity
- LED daytime running lights
Con:
- No AFS (Adaptive Front lighting System)
- No ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) option
- Passenger side no memory seat setting
- Navigation system is less advance than UK version
- DVD movie played only when car foot brake is applied

Hi bro,

What is adaptive cruise control?

Tq

 

[th_oh]

Here is there definition of PCS with ACC:

Pre-crash Safety System (PCS) with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
For even safer driving, your Lexus can be ordered with a highly effective PCS (Pre-Crash Safety System) that works with ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control).

PCS (PRE-CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM)

A radar sensor scans the road ahead to detect obstacles. If an obstacle is detected and PCS determines that a collision is unavoidable, the severity and nature of the impending impact is assessed. PCS then deploys the most appropriate safety devices to ensure injury risk is reduced to a minimum.

ACC (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL)

ACC works in tandem with PCS, using the same advanced radar technology. It can maintain a pre-set distance from the car in front (at speeds between 40 km/h and 200 km/h).

Physically you can noticed it via the different front grille emblem & additional button control on the steering wheel.

That's something new to me,

I believe my car is a base model with additional equipment like
- AFS,
- HDD navigation (JP)

then no more.. LOL

 

[lckia]

Actually I din notice any unit with PCS and ACC when I did shopping last time... IF there is, would have definitely gotten it.
