Does the driver monitor reactivate when the car is started, or does it stay off? Do lane centering and adaptive cruise control work with it is turned off?

@@TXJ232it does not reactivate . Once the alert is turned off in settings it stays off . And it doesn’t affect any of the driving assist and safety assist technology . I was a technology specialist for Lexus for 2 years and that was the most popular request for me to do once the 23 models came out was to turn off the driver monitor recording alert without taking away traffic jam assist or anything , they make it really easy to do as if they knew that was going to be popular .

I think the LC looks better and has less front overhang. Also like the LC's disconnecting sway bar vs eKDSS, and real physical HVAC buttons vs on screen lame "buttons". BUT the LC doesn't have the V6 and the associated towing capacity (boo). Toyota - PUT THE V6 IN THE LC and I'll buy one, charge me the same as the Lexus if you must (and while you are at it, please redesign the fugly plastic "diaper" on the tow hitch for both these vehicles, it's just gawd-awful and it's not good for towing, which is the point of a tow hitch). Nice review guys 👍.
