ES300 Tranny reprogram

Hmm very strange, cause the older toyota transmissions were easily some of
the best affordable ones in the world. Speaking of our camry here : )

I recall reading something about a similar lag in the G35, could be
another
computer-controlled tranny. Computers are great, but they're only as good
as the people who write the programs.

Whether by design or not, I can say that, in my case, the rolling stop
acceleration pause is MUCH more severe after the fix was applied.

In fact, and to be honest, neither my wife nor I, even recall having
that
particular problem prior to having the fix applied. (We only had the 40
MPH
hard acceleration lag, with racing engine. The fix helped that, but now
we
have to deal with this slow roll thing.)

I'm sorry I had the fix done.

I'm told the new Acura TL has drive-by-wire. I'd like to try their
system
to
compare......

No doubt. Toyota has some of the best vehicles on the road. That's really
the main reason I'm so disappointed in Lexus, I expected them to develop
this product a little better. Some have suggested I should have test driven
more. Valid criticism, but I trusted Lexus and Toyota with a leap of faith.
I've driven the Toyota brand exclusively since 1982, I didn't expect this
major quirk in one of their products after 21 years of near perfection.
