 I own a 2001 lexus gs300. i bought it new. my complaint is about the design of the trunk lid. every time you open it, it will not stay up in a wind or when parked on a hill. it has come down on my head more times than i can count. the last time was today in a wind. it cut my head. i have talked to the dealer about the problem and he said that is the way it is designed and to get a stick to hold it up. the first day i opened the trunk when i bought it, it came down on my head. i wonder what would happen if a child got hit by the trunk lid. *jb
