Are you being serious?

I'm thinking that the diagram in those buttons I mentioned shows a picture or caricature of a seat and some curvy lines flowing through it (which I think indicates air/ventilation). Plus, you can three light indicators above those aforementioned buttons.

So yeah, I think this car will have seat ventilation for rear passengers

you should be happy lexus is even releasing that much information now already!!

yes that seems to be the case. like i said seems like lexus is trying to trigger down stuff from LS to the new GS. they are all great, though i wonder how that will stack up on the option prices. especially the rear armrest controls, that's not cheap

Great to see that they are finally going after rear-seat buyers, something that the Germans have been doing for a while in this segment. Hope there's even dual-RSES as an option too.

Also, is it just me or does the front passenger seat look like it has a tilt-up leg support?

And the side-bolstered head rest is clearly different from the flat ones seen in the US.

Those pictures are massive. Here's the rear arm rest of the GS compared to the rear arm rest of a 550i (which cost autoblog $70,450):

From those pics, it looks like the third inside projector on the hybrid will be a blinker. Click here to see it: http://pilt.delfi.ee/en/picture/11737311/

Seat Ventilation requires free flowing air to be available from under the seat. Most cars have rear seats that sit over the rear axle hump. (not elevated with rails or feet).

Notice a different wood trim on this model.



The button that locks the car without a key is gone. The color is interesting as well here.



Take a look at all those buttons, the passenger seat has just as many. My 3GS just has 2

It appears to almost be the same color as the Australian Toyota Aurion...

awesome headrest there, i like that. not a big fan of the current one, from shape to comfort.

both the 5 and e rear armrests are bland compared to this one with the rear controls. in fact i think this is the first time having so many controls (including radio) available to the rear passengers in this segment of cars? i think this is great, but again, i want to see what the added price would be. msrp is pointless, market price is the key

the button on the door handle better goes away already. it's pretty ugly on the 3gs unless the color is black. all high end cars have the sensors as body color (by touch, no longer button)

The handsome leather stitching and overall detail is maintained in the rear. It's like a mini-LS.

3rd RXs don't have the button and I think it looks clean.
