So the new touch screen appears in the RX before the LS? And thank goodness they didn't go with the small driver's screen and stupid horn ***** from the ES and LS. I know this is a minor refresh and not a major upgrade, but I wonder if that means they are abandoning that design going forward.

We haven't heard anything yet on the 2020 models , I think it's safe to assume the rest of the Lexus lineup excluding the dinosaur GX , LX , IS maybe and GS since they are older models will likely offer touch screen again. I don't know about the small driver screen from the ES and LS though, I don't see that making it on to the SUV lineup.

Those two vehicles are already on the Gen Nex platform, so that is still the design future (those systems also have the screen quite close to the driver). The RX platform is last gen, and on its way out. I`d expect the ES and LS to adopt the infotainment updates with their Mid model updates but retains the interior design
I had to flip back and forth between the 2 to even notice the differences on the exterior. The infotainment upgrade is by far the biggest news for this upgrade. And the screen is a lot closer than with the current version, but it's still going to be a reach to use the touchscreen. I checked it today based on where it looks to be, and from where I sit comfortably, I would have to lift my body off the seat back to reach it, and I have really long arms. I'm not sure a touchscreen if that great an idea unless you can reach it easily with your back on the seat.
Yes they did. Looks like an afterthought but it is an improvement. 300 new parts on the new RX. Now has a F Sport appearance package and a F Sport performance package.
Yeah, notice how she has to lean forward to use it, with her back coming off the seat. Seems like it would be awkward.
That's how it is in my Highlander as well. Not that big of a deal, but you do have to lean and stretch forward to reach it, especially the right hand side. It's one of the reasons I prefer a remote touch system versus a touch screen.
