My dealer said next week. Could that be right?

I came in here thinking you had some juicy info lol. But since Lexus changed a few things on the 2014s I don't think there will be huge changes on the 15s

Update on 2015s from Lexus pathetic. Just publish it already if you're not making big changes Lexus. Sheeeesh

Motor Trend has the changes on the 2015. Not much.

lol, this is funny.

Since the 4gs entered production in 2012 as a 2013 model, it's barely 2 years old. I wouldn't expect the 2015 to make radical changes. At best I would expect a mild refresh with better guts for the infotainment system and a system that doesn't require your phone for a data connection.

The 2015 changes were announced here:

http://pressroom.lexus.com/releases/...duct+specs.htm

Some of the highlights are the addition of Atomic Silver, the Generation 8 navigation system, and Enform Remote.

I wonder if the Gen8 navigation will be built into the head unit which can be swapped out with 2013-14 models. 3-D & birds eye are me-too features well over due for a 2015 vehicle.

Looks like the 2015 is only getting a new exterior color added and Lexus is finally updating the multimedia, so we'll finally see 3D maps in the GS.

I remember numerous people did the swap on 3GS, when Lexus updated screen resolution, menus and maps on 2007+ GS. Then it was just the unit that needed to be swapped. I think it's possible to do the same on 4GS, but I doubt its the head unit that needs to be changed, it could be the HDD is where Lexus stores the software, but I can be wrong.

I also think that our current units are capable to run the new software, but of course Lexus will refuse to do an upgrade.

I have been hoping for new touch interface but didn't see it listed on the 2015 pdf above. Shame.

There were a few preproduction GS vehicles floating around Torrance with RTI touch, but unfortunately it didn't make 2015 production. If you look at the RC and NX, you'll note that they've repositioned the RTI on the console, which is a significant production change. It's not just swapping out the RTI module.

I'll ask around to see if I can find out whether there was a hardware change to support Gen 8 Enform on the 2015 GS. It's possible that it's just software, but offering the upgrade is actually a marketing decision. The major change in the head unit is coming in 2016.

I don't think there will be much change.Isn't the mid cycle refresh model coming in '16?

Note that the gen 8 buttons on the RTI are different. On gen 7, the buttons are "MAP/VOICE" and "MENU". On gen 8 they are "MENU" and "HOME".

The car was released in early February 2012. It is now Sept 2014. That is 31 months. Hardly "barely 2 years old". Hell, the sticker on my door says my car was built in Dec 2011. Going on 3yrs soon.

It needs a new engine. Hopefully the 2016 GS-F will refresh the engines across the board.

Without significant upgrades to the interface and head unit on a 2015 I will pass on a new one. Disappointing after having held off 4 months to find out. Looks like an RCF sport!
