Keyless Go.
Anyway of getting rid of that annoying keyless go alarm when getting out of the car "remember to remove key".
Also when putting the top down are only the rear windows supposed to go down?
Just got the car

Thanks ,bmms8.
I'm not going to knock the SC beacause it is a great car in it's own right, but since the SL has arrives it really wins hands down.
In my opinion
The SL has better handling and definately a better ride overall.
The sc has a smooth ride but you feel like your fillings are going to come out when you go over a pebble.( the run flates maybe the culprit). While the SC had DVD nav I found it utterly useless because once the car hit 5mph it would lock you out of the controls so even the passenger couldn't use it.
The SL seats are so much more comfortable than the SC's (my SL has the multi contour seats).
I love the torque on the SL and the exhaust compared to the SC.
It sounds like I'm knocking the SC but I truly think it's a good car it's about 40K less than my SL so when putting it in that perspective overall I have no complaints...but I will be driving the SL more
Sorry for the spelling in a rush...

The rear windows do initially go down to make room for the top to retract. If you continue hold the top control down after the top has fully retracted...the front windows will also go down.

I think the SL wins it hands-down; having driven my 04' SL for four months now, I haven't had anything but "awe-inspiring" gasps and amazing comments from observers, friends, and family. Lexus DOES make an exceptionally reliable, smooth, creamy, plush vehicle, but lacks in the advanced technology and handling; not to mention, the design of the SC leaves it susceptible to those who "love it" and "hate it." Some say it is like driving an ugly egg, others think it is the product of perfection in design. I personally think you can dress it up nice, but not get the "out of the box" appeal that the SL delivers. But keep in mind, the SL is $20K to $30k more in base MSRP...maybe a comparison between the two isn't appropriate. Can't really go wrong with either, but will NEVER go wrong with the SL!

OK...yes, it's worth the money. Besides being cool as hell and incredibly convenient - never having to mess with keys...
I firmly believe that in the next few years it will become a standard feature the same way that a "clicker" key wasn't an industry standard 10 years ago and now every Ford comes with one. It's just the next evolution in that whole process.
