Default 2011 GS 350 vs 2008 model

I currently own a 2008 GS 350 rear wheel drive w/o navigation.

Considering a 2011 model AWD with Nav.

What differences will I notice in the drive - handling of the AWD?

How is the Nav in the 2011 GS?

I wouldn't do it. I barely use my navi. If you've gone this long w/o awd why start now?

If you're into modding suspension, stick with the RWD.

Big difference......love them.

Get the GS460.... why waste time with the same acceleration n torque. Just my opinion or either a GS450H 2010-2011, but i still think the GS460 is where its at. Plus its a 8speed transmission 342hp/340trq lbs. and navigation is standard in the GS460 also its rear wheel.... never once been stuck in snow here in chicago...
