GonneVille Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 You have to line the front bumper up with the rear bumper of the car you are going to park behind. Then you pull forward until you line up the bumper with the middle of your car. Then you shift into reverse, using the brakes yourself as it backs up into the space, then you have to shift into forward and use the brakes yourself to center the car in the spot. The only thing you AREN'T doing is turning the steering wheel yourself. Seriously, what use is this? How often does the average person have to parralell park anyway? By the time you get everything lined up, the person behind you is either honking at you to stop blocking the road, or is close enough to block you from reversing into the spot, or has stolen the spot while you diddled around lining up your bumpers.

xTHExBOSSx46 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 that has to be the dumbist thing i have ever seen in the entire world. clearly there is a easy way to do it and they figured it out later but why would any one have the desire to have that as an accesory? waste of time and money on the manufacturers part.

Mike_Shepard Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 you must have like 6 additional feet on either end of the car for this to work.

suffocateXfaster1647545505 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 It'll sell to soccer moms. Because the complexities of parallel parking are just to much for them to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I'm sure you'll see a lot of scratched LS bumpers because people won't know how to use this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Soccer moms will never use it, they are too busy banning smoking in bars they do not go to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77nova Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Cool but absoluty pointless. Just like its 8 speed auto transmission... This is why I would never own a new car like this, open the hood all you see is a bunch plastic covers and an oil dipstick... http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/sedans/0610_z+2007_lexus_LS460+engine.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I actually flew to Chicago to drive this car for work in late Sept.I have to admit the APGS is not necessary but it is a fun toy to play around with.This car is about having everything other cars have plus more.Why do we have a 8 spd because 2 weeks earlier Mercedes announced their new 7 spd so we went one up on them.Do you need an Executive Class Seating in the back with a reclining seat with adjustable ottoman,flip down 9 inch DVD screen and a remote operated shiatsu massager?No way but people want to say they have it.This car is for the guy who has ALL the toys.Why do some people have 700hp,because their buddy had 600hp.It's not really the car I like,I'd go with the GS450h.A Hybrid that does 0-60 in about 5.2 and has more luxury than I would ever need.Oh yea,when you get some experience with the APGS it takes about 10 seconds to set it up and go and it will also back in a regular spot at the Grocery Store.
