Default '16 GS F-Sport Ultra White/Rioja Red (album)

previously had the '14 IS350 F-Sport. Nothing wrong with it, loved it. Loved the new GS redesign and starting a family soon. Tons of features in the GS - lane keep assist, all speed dynamic radar cruise control works surprisingly well. Once on the highway with cruise set, I had the GS drive me to work.
Only wish it had the option of triple premium led headlights.

Any chance the steering wheel is thicker on the new car, my 2015 has a what I would consider a to thin steering wheel

I haven't sat in the previous GS in a while. Judging by pictures it looks roughly the same.

Customize lets you select Power train control (Normal, Eco, Power), Chassis control (Normal, Sport) and Air conditioning operation (Normal, Eco).

It doesn't feel thicker to me: seems almost thinner than my 2013 GS steering wheel.

Doesn't look like they made any changes there...the middle seat is pretty much useless or for short journeys due to the raised seat height, lack of cut out in the roof, and huge hump on the floor.

I still don't understand why they refer to the GS 350 as being a 5-seat sedan. It's only a 4-seater...and only barely even that.

Really depends on the person lol. All the vehicles I've driven has fit 5 people in it despite the hump, i just make a rule that the biggest person sits up front and the smallest in the middle.
