Is that documented somewhere? I swear I looked and looked at one point and didn't find anything definitive. (is that consistent across the 4GS) For some reason I always thought it was 60/40 (i might have made that up in my own head, lol).
Like the 70 rear, because why I would never have a RWD car, I do like knowing I get some of the driving thrills coming out of corners.

An optional electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system can vary front-to-rear torque balance from 50/50 to as much as 30/70, depending on driving conditions, for exceptional control.
It's also in the brochure. Here's an excerpt from the 2017 brochure:
By monitoring current driving conditions, available all-wheel drive automatically allocates engine power between the front and rear wheels from a rear-biased 30/70 (front/rear) torque split to 50/50, depending on conditions. This helps provide enhanced traction and control on a wide range of road surfaces and in inclement weather.

No doubt, and I just jumped into the rabbit hole here and across the internet reading about AWD on lexus. 30/70 even as far back as 07 it sounds like, so that's good enough for me. I do like the fact I get some RWD thrills. This is my first car that isn't FWD.

Awesome information guys, thanks so much. Just to confirm does the 2015 and 2016 support music via bluetooth from the phone. Also I really enjoy music and i have heard the base audio is wonderful and i have also heard the ML system is quite good. But i have never heard of the ML system in the audio world as a recognized brand. Is the ML system wort the extra search, i see a few of the cars in toronto have them but most of them don't.
In term of the leather interior, does anyone have a 2015-2016 red interior? How is it holding up? Does it ever come off onto clothing on hot summer days?
Last question, i visited Richmond hill dealer today and test drove the car once again. My regular salesperson was away so this new salesperson told me that all 2016+ plus models run of RFT. Now, i couldnt find a rft tag or writing on the tires, i even went online and it confirmed its not RFTS. I really hope i am not crazy as i would hate to deal with RFTs since my last BMW was an expensive nightmare.
