From the looks of it, I think ur badge belongs to the right side of the car, not the left.

I'm guessing they tossed me one from an IS or LS or something. All the promo images depicting the F Sport badge on any car have it on the left.

I think u should send those pics to Sewell and ask for an exchange or a refund, that is definitely the wrong badge. Plus this thing isn't cheap!

So I've seen pictures of the 2015 Gen 8 Infotainment system.. but nobody has really commented on how it compares with the Gen 7 system in detail.

Is it a lot smoother & quicker to operate? Does the free navigation (using HD Radio Traffic updates) work a lot better than the Sirius Navigation that we have to pay a subscription for?

Is is more "accurate" to dial into a menu using the controller for the Gen 8 unit? Or is it about the same as the Gen 7? I know that was a complaint from most "professional" reviews.

Really would like to hear more if you could compare the two units.

It is hard to say since I've had both for such a short period of time (2014 & 2015). The latter I'm still getting used to. Speed and command performance seem the same for the most part. Media (BT, XM, Enform) I think is a tad slower in the 2015. IMO the newer version just shines differently, the 3 way split screen is nice tho, the 3D NAV is a plus to stare at but nothing spectacular. Layout I think I liked the 2014 better. And not that the NAV is a concern for speed since I have the Prestigious Society NAV/Media enhancement unit. It's possible after 3 or more so months is have a better idea. Glad to help if any.

Hello,

Does the 2015 GS350 F-type crafted line come already installed with Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound Audio System?

Thanks!

That's a good question...I saw one at Thousand Oaks Lexus here in Cali it was a white Crafted Lline, the very first thing I noticed sitting in it was that I did not have the ML sound system in it I thought wierd. I guess they changed out the sound system for some luggage and what not! LoL

The M4 kills the RC F, and they cost about the same, looks way better in my opinion. The RC styling looks like one person designed the front and one person designed the rest of the body and the 2 of them never spoke to one another. Fugly car in my opinion.
