Meanwhile in my ISF or Tacoma, the A/C button is right there.

As another Washingtonian, I have never used the AC button. I leave mine on auto year round and just let the car choose when it wants to use the compressor. Good for cooling in the summer and defogging the glass in the winter.

This thing will sell. They did it right imo. While it’s over due for a redesign, it’s a fine suv in its own category. With the last cosmetic update, this seems to complete its puzzle. I might have ended up with it if it came out a few months earlier. I love everything else but got tired of looking at the old screen. It’s interesting to see comments compliment old screen over this. Now that we’re on the screen, why are Lexus screens not angled towards the driver? I really like how BMW screens are angled.

Nothing wrong with a clock in the middle of the center stack. We like knowing what time it is and glancing at it is a nice feature.
Yes, going through touchscreens to turn on and off AC and other climate controls is a hassle and is a reason I wouldn't consider certain cars.
If cars are going to have giant screens, they look so much better being built-in instead of tacked onto the top.
I was hoping Lexus would have toned down that giant grille one of these days, but I don't think I'm going to get my wish.

Good god are they ever going to come out with an all new model? I’ve been waiting for years for a new model as the GX has always been my favorite Lexus SUV and I thought 2022 would be the year, guess not.

Again, totally agree.
xjokerz, I have to admit I have a LOT of respect for your posts....they exhibit simple common sense. You have a good insight not only into what the auto industry IS, but also what it SHOULD be, and what it COULD be if we had better people running the auto companies, and fewer/better regulations trying to strangle it.

Summers in Oregon can get pretty humid. I'm not sure about Washington, though it's probably similar.
