I should have been a little more clear with my RX new infotainment comment. This new touchscreen system will debut on the RX, but for the 5RX.

I haven't done much testing with the softwares on newer cars but I just use the cd player and I do not talk or text when im driving. So that prevents me from getting caught in the crossfires of Apple and Google.
Google is working to get that Google Assistant into vehicles, because Amazon Alexa is already in some Lexus and BMW vehicles.

Oh that sucks, we'll have to wait until the 5RX to get CarPlay.

Maybe, Maybe not. Lexus with the 2015 ES added the updated Gen8 system over the 2014 ES with Gen7, then for 2016 ES added Gen9. So CarPlay could come sooner if Lexus wanted to during the mid-cycle refresh. But yes for a new infotainment / touchscreen we'll have to wait for the 5RX.
