It bothers me that we have all of these GIANT fake air vents. How about either make them functional or make a nice smooth aerodynamic bumper.
I have had a 2IS 350and a 3IS 350 and both have these air catching do nothing features.

The large left intake is for engine oil cooling.
The two small side intakes in the main grill is for brake disc cooling.

Whilst I think the update will look better in the metal and probably grow on you over time, I can't believe Lexus didn't update the wheels for the FSport!
Whilst the LFA styled wheels are definitely one of Lexus' better designs, they look tired and out of place on the update.
Probably should have upsized to 19's and ditched the full painted look for a machined alloy/painted combo. The RC350 FSport wheels aren't perfect but this update definitely needs something like this stye with more pop.
I also think Atomic Silver probably wasn't the best colour choice to debut the update - particularly with the same painted wheels carried over.

Me thinks original IS wheels actually much more attractive than RC wheels, but that's just me only.

Why hasn't there been any more videos released of the 2017 IS? Only 1 video and it didn't show much of the car inside.
