The touchscreen is a huge win for me. I've had touch screens in my Lexus' going back as far as the 98 LS400 and they've all worked flawlessly.

Often, big Japanese corporations run and make decisions in isolation and they believe they know what customers want better than the customers themselves. Thats why they failed during the mobile revolution, Sony is hanging on by a thread. Camera makers still believe that people should physically remove a SD card and then plug it into a computer and then do whatever they need to do or hook up a stupid wire or clunky bluetooth or wifi.
FYI, Sony cameras can connect via wifi and bluetooth now. Sony is making huge strides in their products lately to offer good software and user interfaces. I love my new Sony OLED TV (i've owned samsungs, LG's and Hisense and sony takes the cake) and have been using their cameras exclusively for the last 3 years, cant see myself going back to canon.

"Fatal flaw". Hard to argue wildly successful companies have "fatal flaws"

Fatal flaw may be too strong. But compare user interfaces to some other brands and the difference is clear. I totally get why the products are the way they are- it's the result of the corporate culture of many of these companies and lack of focus on these areas for decades.

Welcome to the internet where everything gets blown out of proportion.
Back to the RX. I am really looking forward to these updates. My wife has been wanting CP since I bought my 530e with it.
Btw, we have no qualms with the existing Lexus interface. Is it as smooth or slick as the one in our BMW, no, is it as terrible as the posters on this board make it out to be, no.

i think they've definitely improved it over the last few years. My 14 was one of the first years and models that the interface was introduced. the non-navigation parts wouldn't be so bad if the interface wasn't so slow. entering a navigation destination with that interface is so infuriating for me that it's unusable. and it wont allow you to enter the destination with the lexus enform app either while you are in the car. what the heck?!
back to the topic, I think the MMC RXL looks great. will definitely consider it as our next vehicle purchase, but I think wife has her mind set on a CPO Mercedes GLS

if you need CP/AA the logical decision would be to get the 3p version retrofitted.

It certainly isnt fatal yet, but they are no longer number 1 in sales in the U.S. and for someone like me who only likes to own Lexus, it is starting to turn me off but then again, I'm just 1 customer.

Thats not really a function of their own sales as much as its a function of increased model lineups from BMW and Mercedes
