Default 2010 GS 350s - when?

Does anyone know when the 2010 GS 350s will hit the showrooms? Does anyone expect any changes other than (perhaps) the replacement of the touchscreen with the new "mouse"?

Exclamation Mouse is a REALLY BAD idea

The mouse is by far the worst idea Lexus ever came up with.

The current touch screen is a model of how easy to use interfaces should be designed. The mouse from the new RX is a huge step backwards.

For the record, I expect no changes in nav on the GS until the entire model is redesigned.

most of the time...the "December to Remember" event is when the new models are starting to hit the showrooms. The 2009 didn't hit here until late November to early December.

LOL. Come on guys take it easy on Gordon, this was his first post. Stick around Gordon, you will learn a lot here.

Yeah I really hope Lexus never goes away from the touch screen for the GS "or any Lexus for that matter." I have tried the mouse in the new RX and it isn't toooo bad, I like how the screen is tucked away and there is never sunglare on it. Yes the touch screen is way better and is totally Lexus.

PS. That is a donkey not a horse.

I was told by a salesman they will be ready for delivery before end of the summer. If he can't do that for me, I'm going somewhere else and he loses a sale. If I find out he lied outright then I am definitely going to Infiniti.

Okay, okay - enuf already on the FNG. I did do another search on the site - thought out better - and saw some of the other posts.

To add to the fun - our dealer told my wife September. And I agree with the comments on the touchscreen vs the "mouse". Having taken the time to "learn" the 2010 BMW "improved" iDrive and the MB "dial" - I can't imagine anyone being more (edit) distracted with a touchscreen than with these interfaces.

Lexus - add a "3-D/horizon" view on the screen, enable an option to use while underway, and keep the touchscreen (I don't mean to begin a new thread).

Thanks everyone - I "got it" at the first post and in hindsight I deserved it. Consider my thread - dead.
