Default What do you want on the new GS?

Since it is not to long before we see what the next GS will look like, what are some things/features you would like to see on it?

I would like to see the night vision system from the LX and maybe some sort of rear entertainment system make an appearence.

Active ventilated seats.

I hate when my back and butt sweat on long trips.

Ummmmm....how about these:

- A 2-door Coupe version
- More HP / torque...esp. for the 300
- 3-D Navigation
- XM Satellite audio system
- Rain sensing wipers
- Auto parallel parking feature ( http://www.toyota.co.jp/company/priu...q/pop_ipa.html )
- Reverse sensors
- Adjustable Heated Seats....if not that...at least debug it so that it works (for God sakes)
- Bigger trunk space
- Fold down rear seats (or at least a pass thru)
- Onstar as an option

Those for now.

1. Adaptive air suspension with 3-levels (i.e. CL Benz)
2. A tuner (like AMG)
3. Bi-xenon
4. Seat massagers
5. Automatic trunk opening and closing, and doors.
6. Supercharged I6, and 400h.p. V-8
7. Supra TT brakes standard or at least an option, They got the parts
8. Turn signal mirrors, LED ones
9. Panaramic roof option/skyroof, whatever it's called
10. Compass standard, Come on why can't I have a compass standard.
11. More options with interior colors, and materials: Suede and leather seats, more seat colors, Brushed aluminum, different wood options, suede headliner.
12. Headlights that follow the road.
13. Six speed option
14. Larger and wider wheels standard. 17's for 300 and 18's for 430
15. Powered rear seats, with AC and heat.
16. Massaging front seats as and option, with AC and heat.
17. V-12 option (okay I will settle for a V-10) for the ballers. Hell it would probaly cut Benz and Bimmer sells in half, think about it. Faster-maybe, more luxury-yeah, and more reliable-of course where talking Lexus.
18. Coupe version, Nothing competes with the upcoming 6series of that Benz CLE coming, which I don't consider a coupe but thats what they said.

I would really like to see:

AWD on both the GS3 and GS4, and
a roomier trunk.

I wonder when the first commercial will run for the new GS? maybe during the summer olympics?
