Default 2013 I hope they fix things like..and don't loose. Things like:

I love the styling (front anyways) of the new gs450h. I like the much improved gas milage and LED headlight cluster and all the new gadgets they added.

But I hope it doesn't suffer the same dashboard creaking my 2007 gs350 had.

I hope they keep the DVD changer. I'll miss watching a movie while parked and waiting for my kids to get out of school. I noticed my friends 2011 Prius V still doesn't have DVD playback, although it has a separate DVD slot just to update the gps maps.
I hope they fix the auto/manual shifter. I so thought that would be the coolest thing to driving standard. Nope. Manual downshifts takes just about a second or more. Upshifts are worse. I swear it takes like a second or two to shift to next gear. That was a joke.
I do hope they keep with the idea to have LED lighting wherever possible. I like that in my car. I just wish it was brighter when you want the cabin lighted.

Something tells me if I get it with all the options, it'll be close to $70k . I'll never afford it.

depends. you build a gs350 now with everything and fsport and it's up at 66k already. the 4gs350 with even more options including rear seat controls, etc...? it's pretty possible

Have they said whether the F-Sport option will be from the factory or port installed? Meaning 100% of the F-Sport "pieces" are OEM factory installed instead of Jim-Bob in Jacksonville putting them on before shipment to dealers.

I hope they get rid of the

1) Snap Crackle Pop problems in the Dash.

2) Small Trunk.. I hope the car goes back to the dimensions of the 2nd Gen GS.. That car was big enough, but small enough to be sporty. The 3rd Gen trunks Sucked..
