Everything else is the same: blindspot, lane assist, heated seats, etc.

I like the black interior more than the brown interior, but I do want the bigger screen. So basically I have to make a choice on whether I want the interior I like better or the bigger screen
Don’t compromise. My dealer found the colors I wanted last Thursday from another dealer and the car is supposed to be delivered this week. I did want one with triple beam headlights and had to let that go, but they were able to find one with every other option/color I was looking for. Oh, and I agree with other comments here, go for the 12” display with nav. It also offers some interesting benefits by allowing for expanded information on screens other than nav specific displays.

The Weather Channel with forecasts and a color coded Map is one additional feature
that comes with the 12" navigation screen.

I think out here on the west coast it's a different story in regards to navigation. When I was looking to purchase my vehicle early this year I found that many dealerships in my area sold the ES without navigation. I didn't care much if it came with or without it since my priority was the exterior and interior colors. At that time there was only 1 vehicle in a 100 miles radius that matched my choice of colors and it happened to have an 8" ML system.

Most of my friends and family opt out of purchasing vehicles with navigation since it's an option that will hardly be used. I think having access to unlimited data plans on cell phones and Apple Carplay, built-in navigation is a thing of the past.

As long as you can project the phone on the screen. I hate using my phone for NAV and as an Android user, Im out of luck with projection.

Waze via Apple Carplay is much better than the built in navigation. While I do have a built in navigation unit I generally use Waze if I need directions.

Ah yes, it's easy for me to forget about Android since I have had every other iPhone for more than 10 years now. I enjoy very much how Apple Maps and even Google Maps are projected on to the screen. With Apple Maps, all notifications are sent to my Apple watch which makes it even more convenient.

I plan to jailbreak my current iPhone in September once the new iPhone is released. Once jailbroken I will be able to mirror my screen not just certain apps.

I wish you all Android users good luck!

Wait a minute! I thought that our new cars (2019) had Android Auto. Actually, I haven't even used the in-car navigation system yet ( since December) but was under the impression that my car had it. Hmmm. But then I don't have unlimited data either so I probably wouldn't be using it anyway... I just bring my dash top Garmin portable along when needed...

I just went onto the Lexus web site and looked for AA. They said AA would be available "in the future"...

Totally agree. Here in Orange County it’s pretty easy to find tons of non-nav cars. And with Apple Car Play, provided one has an iPhone, who needs it?

I lease, so I give no concern to selling car later. I’ll likely not even meet the 3 year mark. I have what doctors call “new car smell addiction.”

Loving my F Sport with ML and no nav.
