Is this the feature where you press really hard on the brake and it holds the car? Can you take your foot completely off the brake, once it is engaged?

On the LS there's a button on the steering wheel you press, and when it's activated every time you stop for like 2 seconds it will hold the brake for you and you can take your foot completely off the brake.

I don't like it in slow traffic, only for red lights. It bothers me in stop and go traffic.

It's on the GSh as well - useful for complete stop & go traffic like Steve mentioned and for drive through/drive-thru restaurants!

If you press the accelerator a certain amount, it automatically releases the brake. Meaning you can't use the "HOLD" feature while revving the car to like 4K RPM! lol.

Default The 2016 GS's have a big face.

That's the way they look in pics, anyway.

...too much going on up front...
