Default 3rd Generation IS Interior

Is there an F badge under that tape at bottom of steering wheel?

Looks like touch-sensitive fan/temperature controls

Seriously!

I will wait for the CR350 or CR-F to be launched at the Toyko Autoshow 2013!

That dash is disgusting. It looks like the fat rolls coming off of a 500lb man.. and then they carried over that theme to the seats.

The ONLY up side to that interior that I see is the gauge cluster, center console and steering wheel. The rest blows.. and we won't even get into the start button being misplaced to look like a 3rd eye.


IMHO.

the rows on the seats are more supportive instead of having one big square like it is now. Like in a mattress bunch of smaller springs are better at supporting than one big one. Dont view it purely as looks.

The climate control via touch instead of a button is pretty neat, and it's more accessible for the driver to control his or her side. I like how some of the LFA's features are being integrated into the IS, giving it a more sport feel inside. I'm not feeling the location of the Push Start button, but it doesn't appear to be space in the location where it was from the 2IS. Looking forward to the final look!

i hate the touch sensitive buttons for the climate control. Much prefer it to be buttons

and wussup with the L patterns on the seat? They got rid of the Lexus badges on the rear of the cars but can't let people forget its a lexus inside?

Default NAV Controls

Is the Display screen controlled by the control on the right hand side of the steering wheel?

I wanna check something here the Next-Generation LFA-inspired Lexus IS instrument panel what purpose does it serve on th IS? We all know on the LFA the reason it was there was due to the high revening V10 engine which the nornal Analogue Techomenter would keep up with high rate of revs woould decrease and increase. Now should this be on the next IS-F Rather or CR-F instead of the normal stadard IS model or Hybrid model .Can a Lexus expert shed some light on this matter.
