Nav is an option but I've never seen a GS without Nav.Not even in a pic.
Love to see what the dash would look like without Nav.

The dash will look the same, the screen size will be significantly smaller. Similar to what you will find in the ES.

Thanks,S!

Looks a bit strange and cheap.Definitely needs Nav.

It does look strange, they just accommodated the wide opening with slanted trim. But what is the right half of the screen, looks like Nav to me?

Also looks like they kept the remote touch mouse controls. On my friends Nav-less 3IS, there is a twist **** instead of the remote touch controls.

Some GS 250's with small screens come with navi.

The GS pictured does have Navigation. That GS is an overseas model and does not get the 12.3" screen option. You can see the map and Remote Touch interface.

OMG It's so ugly...

My mother is looking at buying a new GS350. The first one they pulled out for her to test drive was a base car without navigation. The car was stripped down and literally had zero options.

It is just my opinion, but I cannot see paying ~$49,000 for a GS with no options.
Once you get to this price point it should have several things standard like heated seats, navigation, parking sensors, etc.
Personally, I would never consider anything other than the luxury or F-sport packages with almost all of the other options as well. I could never be content with a 50k+ car that doesn't have all of the features I want. If you've already spent 50k, why not just put in a few thousand more to get everything you want. If a few thousand is too much for your budget then you probably shouldn't be buying this expensive of a car anyways.

Just my opinion.

that must be the complete base model ? even spending that kind of money, i would hope to get some options.

That was probably one of the only ones like that in the country...

I agree with 5th avenue on that one... I currently drive an 04TL (which I still love) but looking to get a GS-F when I finally get done with my years of hell with med training while drooling over these cars when taking breaks. I could not imagine getting an expensive car like this and not getting if not all the options... go big or go home =)

We had one at our store about a year ago.. Base base GS no options. A customer had ordered it and waited 3 months for the special order. The nag screen is reduced in size to the one pictured on this thread. It still keeps the remote touch mouse, but instead of MENU/MAP buttons it has MENU/COMPASS. When you press the compass it just shows you a compass (just like Mercedes non-nav vehicles).
