lexus center console with the mouse is horrible, and if the GS-F has it, i would rather buy the charger hellcat.
Thankfully the gx has a touch screen, and i probably would not have bot it if it had the same
mouse set up as most of their cars.

why not move to the m5? i know its not awd

everyone petition lexus to bring back touch screen with capacitive touch and faster cpu ???

You use your smart phone on a daily basis, with its fluid responsiveness,
and then you get pulled back into the last century when you sit in your car, fumbling with the mouse and non-touch screen.

+1. Fluid transition from phone to car. That's one of the reasons I like the 2010 ISC. NO *****! Also my Pioneer head unit in the RX is touch screen and darn fast & smooth.

yup. love my u-connect on the jeep for this reason. simple responsive 8" touchscreen, plus boatload of steering wheel controls. there are still physical climate / audio controls too on center stack (and steering wheel) but no mouse/wheel/joystick deal.

Hey, your X5 doesn't have fog lights! XD

Modern I-drive is actually one of the easiest one to use.

I took a look at the M5 and I need AWD.

I love reading these comments.. so true what you guys are saying.

The depreciation of a BMW is awesome when you want to buy used...

My Lexus vehicles in the past have not been problematic, but they have required some very expensive repairs...

Oh and don't forget the Panoramic roof. LOVE that.
