damn is this interior sweet!

I vacuumed and wiped down every surface and the design and materials throughout just blew me away.

I loved the way the headrest on the third row automatically lowered and cleared the second row by about 3 cm. when I put down the power folding seat.

Yeah, the more you look around and feel the fit and quality of materials used, the more impressed you are with this vehicle. I put the 3rd row seats up and down just for fun sometimes!

One of my favorite experiements with KG is seeing how little of a touch will unlock the car. Try it, it's fun

Yep

2 days ago a friend of mine bought lexus 400H (loaded) and invited us to take a look at his car. As soon we opened the lexus front doors, we were really disappointed. I had expected the car to be appealing but it was sort of cheaper looking. May be we are spoilt with interior of the GL. BTW, our GL's NON- LEATHER was much more appealing then the leather they had in the car

And then do you do the double take to make sure that they are still folded in?

Last time I looked at an "h" I was disappointed as well. My wife's non-"h" 330 has a nicer interior, IMHO. They were going for some sort of "environmentally-friendly" interior that among other things used no wood. Blah. That and we've all heard my rantings about hybrids versus diesels for the majority of the USA.
