pretty certain lexus will have GS-F at 480 hp range,,,but they will say it weight less than others so speed is about the same,,but when buying performance cars people want to brag about how much HP they got,,,

As rominl said, there is a difference between hardware and software. Entune is a software system. Remote Touch and touchscreens are hardware systems.

Lexus could definitely get Entune while keeping Remote Touch as the hardware interface. We shall see what happens.

I really don't like the name remote touch. It's a mouse bred with a joystick. There's nothing touch about it. A touch pad paired with the mouse/joystick would be nice.

1SICKLEX - Panamera nav screen is disturbingly small.

One of my neighbors just got an F10 BMW. I'm envious. I wasn't jealous of the guy who bought the Aston Martin DB9, or the guy who bought the Bentley Continental GT, or the Ferrari guy. But the F10 makes me green with envy.

Thus the name "remote touch". You're not physically touching anything, you are "remotely" touching it through haptic feedback that's on the controller.

Lexus - I would like you to take inspiration from the Bentley Continental GT when you design the next round of quad headlights for the 4GS.

Do not take inspiration from the E-class.

It's hard to come up with something completely original in headlight design. Ideally the headlights won't be too big (hopefully will have all LED lights at least as option). I like the Continental GT lights, and my sense is that the Lexus GS shape and the Continental share a lot in common, so the notion of 4 roundish, flush fitted lenses I think would look good. I hate awkward non flowing shapes. On the 3GS they worked, but on the Benz they look awful. I worry we go more in the Benz direction.

well it wouldn't be a bad call on Lexus having continental GT headlights but then agian the LED front lighting I still like the xenon but I hope the turn signals are up to date as LED's hopefully they put the Audi LED although everyone has it, it still looks good.

gen 4 GS will have 13" navi screen and dual trapezoid grill (think of it as the huge Audi grill, pinched in the middle). No more quad headlights.
