Side Blind Zone Alert shouldn't be mandatory on STS-V... it sets off false alarms with most radar detectors. And if you had an STS-V, you'd probably want a radar detector...

SRX new steering wheel, interesting. I wonder if it looks like the new CTS or STS?

And I wonder what the new key fob design is going to be?

the CTS info is up too, why wasn't it posted?

does it still give false alarms when you tern the system off?
