Lexus Interior Design: LF-LC
The LF-LC is possibly the first Lexus with an emotional design both inside and out. So lately, the focus on Lexus styling has been on the exterior, most specifically the Lexus Spindle Grille design. So with all the focus on the exterior, what about the interior? What elements of the LF-LC's dramatic interior would you like to see in future Lexus products?

I like the stop/start switch on the steering wheel. I also like the flat bottomed steering wheel. I really hope Lexus offers a panamaric or glass roof option on these coupes or going forward on more vehicles. Love the stitching.
Not a fan of the big swooping door design in that color.

- I like the use of leather, CF and aluminum materials in creative ways. Definitely get away from wood of any sort, it’s played out. Nothing in this interior looks plastic, even if it is.
- The integral door to dash styling, the pedals, door handles and center console all appear to be design without limits and yet although form follows function, you wouldn't think so. Originality where simple parts that are easily identifiable in other cars , in this case there’s no other part in the industry that looks like it. You want to be able to see these parts and say, "This must be from a Lexus".
- The stitching in the doors, dash, center console and seats should be a design trait in all Lexus interiors The layout is out-of the-box. Very Sexy. This makes cross stitching, look so boring and non-original.
.
- The use of flat panel displays for functions beyond movie watching is cutting edge as well, and none of these displays are dimensioned or shaped like something you could buy at the local Best Buy and retrofit into your Honda.
- Lexus should release these design characteristics / themes/features ASAP, before Hyundai knocks them off !

I agree with everyone about the stitching, love it. I like the use of carbon fiber and aluminum. With all the waves and curves I'm sure Lexus will tone it down for the production model but do have to say this is definitely original and not a copy cat of any other automaker out there.
Lexus should really try to bring this car into production soon to keep up and keep the competition on their toes.

You can always mod it!
I was never really a fan of Deep Sea Mica either. It's nice but it doesn't have the pop that Blue Opal has, or even any of the previous dark blue's Lexus used.

As cool as all the touchscreen tech stuff looks, I personally hope there are no plans to turn everything into a touchscreen. I enjoy being able to open my windows without looking away from where I'm driving. Besides that, I personally really like the LFA inspired interior design elements on most modern Lexii.
