-60/40 rear folding seats. Such a handy feature that is missing.
-I second the panoramic sunroof - really nice for those rear seat passengers.
I can't complain though because for every feature left out of the 2014 GS, there are four or five great features that I discover.

1. Top-view camera
2. Full-color HUD
3. Auto hold for electronic parking break
4. Soft-close door
Once you drive a sedan with 1, 2, and 3 it's very difficult to do without. Item 4 adds a luxurious touch.

2. is available for '14 models. '13 models got shafted.
3. Is on the hybrid only. Not sure why.
4. Would be great for those lazy days.

All these features mentioned are currently available for the 5series so no reason why the GS cant offer them.
Personally ones i want:
Full LED headlights and taillights
New engine - current 1 is old
Rear side window shades for Fsport
3D Nav
Fsport passenger seat equal the driver seat in adjustments
Fog lights on Fsport
My lease is up in 2yrs so hopefully Lexus will make those changes when the mid-cycle update.

At higher cost. Optioned similarly the 5 series is $10k more than the GS.

-Full LED. Lexus already has almost all LEDs on the inside, now they need to complete it with the exterior.
-3D nav
-Independent AC zone fan speed control (a la BMW)
-Air suspension (would be nice)
-Adaptive cornering headlights on f-sport (we're the ones carving mountains, right?)
Oh, and 500 hp
The GS is damn near perfect IMO. These would just be icing on the cake.

When comparing in the same class - what vehichle has soft close doors / the LS and S class do - but I dont know any in its class that do.
And any complaints about the nav are insane the mercedes and bmw nav in comparison to lexus are pure trash.
What is a auto hold break?
Also does anyone know - I see it's available and I have a Premium2 - 2013 GS350 - maybe its only on lux models or maybe mine isnt working or maybe im doing it wrong - (click open 2x on keyfob to open windows and sunroof?)

really? In personal situations i always hear bad things about porsches and their reliability. Always hear negative things about them but online they were ranked #2 behind lexus in terms of reliability. Idk who to believe lol

- Collision avoidance system like Volvo that provides user selectable alert distance, including adaptive cruise that continues in stop n' go.
- NAV database update by user.
- Traffic info without need for subscription.

I have to agree with this opinion. Just playing with the suspension does not make the GS FSport a true performance vehicles the way its competitors offer. To me, the lack of a more powerful alternative diminishes the entire line. Its a pretender. Now, I do enjoy the car, really comfortable, exhaust sounds good but it doesn't delivery what the visual promises.
I'd also like the overhead sunglass holder again.
I agree on the above post about back-up camera being outdated.
I don't need to rearview mirror compass because the one in the center display is much nicer.

This one has been mentioned multiple times I think but I want to repeat. I really like the top view camera I have on my Infiniti. I think it's especially helpful when parking into tight spaces. Although the sensors are nice, I really like seeing right in front of my bumper.
Front & Top View
Back & Top View
On a side note, I've been so spoiled. I remember when backup cameras first started rolling out in luxury cars, I thought to myself... "who pays thousands extra to have that feature?" but now that I've had one, I probably won't get another vehicle that doesn't have one.

Yeah I also like the top view cameras, especially for an SUV...
