LC is going to receive a mid-cycle refresh this April, according to the famous leaker Carmaker1 from CL.
This also confirmed the rumors from Mag-X that they are going to implement a touchscreen and LSS upgrades.
I sincerely hope they don't botched the design like on the LS. Make that glass layer with multitouch capability is prob the best way I can think of not ruining the dash.

Same. The LC interior currently is GORGEOUS. I hope they do a better job integrating the touch screen.

They REALLY had better integrate the 12.3 here vs the LS.

They could at least improve the clunky black plastic surround

Its like an aftermarket kit and the original screen is still under there

Theres a floating plastic layer there.

Put a touch digitizer on it, its transparent, and give it a bigger dramatic ultrawide display underneath.

You could extend the screen into the decorative pattern area in the dash in front of the passenger seat.

😫

For those who dont know this is what im talking about. Hard to see but you can sort of see it here.
