Personally, I think the system in the new RX looks fine.

Probably should have mentioned but after my insider drove the Lexus RX in Austria earlier this year he asked if there were any specific questions I wanted answering about current models.
I knew the infotainment is a hot topic in both the UK and US as its somewhat lacking so I asked about it.
Basically the answer given to me was that there is a complete new software going to make it out and will be available for the IS only. It's code named MH13 whatever that means but it's significantly improved. A wait of 6-12 months is expected

Just so that everyone knows, Lexus does not write the infotainment software. They contract out to *many* companies to do bits and pieces of the whole package. One company may write the interface and another the network stack that is used to talk to your phone. I don't envy the Lexus project managers who have to keep track of all the different pieces and their status.

Scrolling through my sirius xm channels is a NIGHTMARE!!!! So slow and nothing about it is cohesive with jogging through the stations. Am I the only one here?!? Then the app suite is total GARBAGE. Pandora always shows up with a tether error which really tries my patience. 
This things interface is about as user friendly as a grizzly bear or a clogged toilet...
