OEM Nav is something that NO manufacturer gets right, in my opinion. It's almost embarrassing how bad the OEM navigation systems are (especially when you factor in what they upcharge it on the options list). Another feature that 99% of the manufacturers abolutely miss on is third row seating (in SUV's). I had a 2004 LX470, and it was almost embarrassing that I had to have the seats folded to the side, when not in use (which was always). Even the manufacturers who have figured out how to fold them into the floor when not in use (the absolute correct placement for them) still can't figure out how anyone above is supposed to get to the third row, in the event they ever wanted to sit back there!

vey very cool. I am excited to see what my next ride will look like. I will most likely keep my 460 for another 4 years and then will go for the 5LS. I learned my lesson with my 07 and my 03 G35. DONT buy firt model years. they always have teething issues. Best to wait until year three or four

A 460 as a new model is a disappointment. I'd like to see a significant increase in horsepower. The F version doesn't even sound that exciting. The GS has a F version and it's really nothing significant. I'd like to see the same kind of difference like the 3 series BMW and the M3. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade.

Interested to see how they look. I hope they did some great things with the F-Sport. It would be nice to get some more power in these cars..

Default Awd

No mention of AWD.

I know they have been having problems with the transmission and AWD; are they bypassing AWD because they have yet to solve the problem.

In Canada AWD matters.
