Default Features Question!

I was browsing around the Lexus website and was reading some of the features available on the new GS350/460 and saw a couple things that might be worth having.

What years/models did they equip with the HDD Navigation System as well as which years/models come with the collision detecting system? I know that the newer ones come with Bluetooth audio ability so you can play Pandora off your phone/ipod to your cars radio but I can do without that feature as I plan on buying a Vaistech Ipod hookup anyway.

I believe the Pre-Collision System/Radar Cruise Control was an option on all 3GS's 2006-present. It is a pretty rare option, though. You'll find it most on the 430, 460, and 450h models as they typically came more optioned out.

FACK.. I'm really just looking at a GS350 right now since I kind of need AWD. After the winter we had here, I'll probably never buy another car without it. I'm currently in an 08 Corvette which remains garaged on bad days so I either have to rely on the girlfriend or a family member to help me out when I need to go places and that is simply AWFUL. I've never felt so trapped lol. However, we usually never get more than flurries to a couple inches tops around here so I was very surprised when we had about 3 weeks of 5-12"+ of snow.

Man I'm guessing your not trading that car in so I would just buy the simple GS AWD and call it a day you have a good summer car but if you are trading it in then maybe you should get the GS filled to the gills with options its only right!
