According to the Lexus website and brochures My RC 350 fsport supposed to have it too but I haven't found it either so it's not just the IS it's also the RC

This is clearly an IS200t gauge cluster. There won't be a "boost" gauge for the IS350.

I've found Lexus to be VERY VERY poor at their advertising, marketing, and vehicle info particularly with specifics/details. It's as if they hire some media team that knows NOTHING about cars and has them guess at which car has what and signs off on it without even verifying the info. I've notice a TON TON of Lexus screwups in their advertising, commercials, owner manuals, etc etc. a TON. Their website is absolutely POOR.

Now BMW on the other hand takes their details EXTREMELY serious. Always 100% accurate.

I know Lexus is reading this. Get with it.

If the G force sensor is there, it'd be under the "i" tab, which is the first tab like the NX and the RX.

Lexus are pretty reliable but I can assure you BMWs are technically superior in almost every way, particularly powertrain wise. The conservative approach to cars can only hold so long. New turbo powertrains from Lexus are coming soon (to be able to compete with the rest of the market) and their reliability ratings long-term is going to take a hit. Anyone can create an n/a 4 cylinder economy **** box for decades and get good long-term reliability scores and awards. Now... try adding power to keep up with Mercedes, BMW, Audi. They'll see there's a price to pay to creating good powerful techncially competitive cars that perform. There's no choice but to compete. The turbo/power era is now coming for Lexus/Toyota. Welcome to the game

Don't forget the 3IS gear has G sensor, so it is there.

I don't disagree with you at all. Unfortunately, the new M3/M4 sound like glorified lawnmowers (I don't care what aftermarket exhaust they use). They may try to recreate, but they will never be able to sound like the previous V8 M3s or C63s. Makes me sad ;(

On a positive note for Infiniti, I test drobe the Q50 red sport and it sounds awesome...just like a 2008 335i. A+ to Infiniti
