Interesting that you would post this in the Lexus newsgroup, but not
in the Mercedes newsgroup. Why is that, john? Don't you think Mercedes
owners would be interested in this also, or is it more important that
Lexus owners realize the error of their ways?

It is just interesting information. Car ownership is somewhat subject
to the whims of popularity. For a while it was quite trendy to have a
Lexus - then a big SUV - now an efficient little MB. So it is just
interesting information which really souldn't arouse such strong
responses from satisfied, confident owners....
