Handsome little devil

Shame they didn't take the opportunity to improve some of the plastics in the cabin. Same poor steeringwheel bezels that are on the 3IS. And door pieces don't flow. Looks like something tacked on. Lexus you can do better.

Ive always found it weird that the passenger door has the door handle grip like above while the driver's side door doesn't. What kind of car has two differently styled front interior doors?

my guess is passenger needs something to grip onto (assuming there's no overhead handle), while driver can grip the steering wheel.

either way, that door looks really plain.

I too, like balance, which is why the old waterfall designs of lexus interiors bode well with me. Now, what bothers me is that even though the dashes are horizontal, the vents, the nav screen, etc are a bit off center

F-Sport looks pretty good, should sell well. Car overall still looks modern and should go through next 2 years easily.
