Default Massage Seats

Does anyone know if the new GS comes with massage seats?

I have no idea, but my guess would be, No. I assume you just mean the one back seat, a la the LS. If you're meaning the driver seat, that has to be some sort of DOT no-no.

Actually the current-gen E-Class and the A6 have it too. Definitely something nice to have. If Lexus isn't planning on adding it to the GS they should at least make it available to the driver's seat of the next LS.

Mb has this on the high end models for driver and passenger so it is not a dot issue. They have four settings. The highest setting is called "fast and vigorous" and the slowest is called "slow and gentle"

they'd be pimping that feature if it was going to be available. they've been drawing attention to the leg extension feature, so why leave the massage feature out of their advertising? I don't know about you all, but the last thing I want is something pinching my back/***/legs while I'm trying to drive.

Didn't know the 5-series has it too. Then that makes this option available on all the German big 3 but none of the Japanese.

Tons of cars have massaging driver seat now, mostly Europeans like the ones mention above, I think the Equus has it, the Mulsanne has it................just about all full size Euros has it.....S-class, 7-series, 8-series Audi........etc.

I was shocked to even found massaging driver seat on the new Taurus SHO.

Massaging seat is the new heated seat, slowly becoming common.

I am wondering what is the next thing gonna be heated, now that steering wheel are heated, I am thinking everything we touch should be heated, shift ****, door handle, arm rest........etc.

Maybe the idrive ****? That's all I can think of that we touch on a car

Heated head rest would be nice, I am sure is coming. There is only so much they can do on a car and they must add something on each generation.
