Replying to: bmwconvert (May 11, 2006 10:40 am) The DRCC is packaged together with the pre-collision system (PCS) and as was stated is together a $2850 option. The window sticker actually references the PCS option so if yours shows that then you also have the DRCC. The sport button is different than the active vehicle stabilizer option which is an always on feature. These two options cost $6250 so they really drive up the cost of the car. The sticker will spell out what's on the car but you can tell from the price too. Fully loaded MSRP is just under $66K with delivery fees included.

Replying to: hendjaz (May 11, 2006 2:10 pm) Thank you for this clarification. I don't believe the Neiman Marcus versions came with the DRCC or the active vehicle stabilizer option. DRCC is neat, but not sure it is worth $2850, unless you use the cruise control a lot. What is the funtion of the active vehicle stabilizer option?

Replying to: gs450h (May 11, 2006 4:26 pm) What is the funtion of the active vehicle stabilizer option?   I could not find any reference for the above, but according to the info on Lexus Canada Website, the AVS (Adaptive Variable suspension) which available on on GS450h is: AVS is a computer controlled suspension system that continuously adjusts for ride comfort and handling precision. It went on further: AVS allows the driver to select from four suspension settings - comfort to sports firm – at the flick of a switch. Computerized sensors also monitor steering and wheel speed to eliminate dive, squat, lean and roll.   Also, the car comes fully fully loaded at one price. There are six available colors to choose from.

Replying to: gs450h (May 11, 2006 4:26 pm) gs450h, sorry I had forgotten you have the NM model and I don't believe either of those options were part of that package. The PCS/DRCC radar related package is for pre-collision response (preparing brakes and tightening seat belts, etc.) based upon the bumper sensors reading that a collision is imminent and then also for automatic speed adjustments while in cruise control, also based upon information received by the sensors. This is an available option for the GS cars and is not unique to the 450h but it seems that many of the early "regular" 450hs are coming loaded with the PCS/DRCC option.   As far as I know, the active vehicle stabilizer is an option that is unique to the regular 450h and is intended to keep the car relatively flat in cornering activities. I have only driven my 450h which does have this option so can't compare to one without it but the car certainly does stay quite flat without the usual leaning while corning around sharp corners. It doesn't appear to adversely affect the ride of the car as it remains very comfortable in taking corners and bumps Replies to this message: ptpro3 (May 16, 2006 5:53 pm) gs450h (May 17, 2006 1:47 pm) thedon1 (May 17, 2006 4:10 pm)
