I hate the clock. I mean I hate the clock that we have today but I feel that taking a tip from Chrysler (they do those clocks right?) was a bad move. All the creativity seems to have gone to the exterior of the vehicle which looks fantastic - I like it all. The Lexus clock just seems...too classy for the F-sport I guess.

I feel something is lacking in the dash, perhaps it's the color scheme. I like the move towards the larger tach.

The tail-lights are still sinking in. Not loving or hating, just have to see it in person I guess.

looks to have more passenger space - that's gotta be nice if it's true.

Guys i want point out my personal point of view the car is nice but i have a problem if the F-sport looks rather plain maybe its the colour or the pics are not doing it for me.In any case let see it in different colours and in person. I have already made my decision will wait for the RC-F sport model.

Nice! I really like the look. A little swoopy but I like the angles and think the ISF will be really interesting.

I absolutely like the interior., the exterior is too detailed and shares some aspects of different auto makes., I see the 3/4 panel resembled the Acura., the tail lights lamps are over done. I think I still prefer the 2IS because its bold and that means for me when I drive a 2IS and I won't put a mixed judgement on other drivers eyes to what the 3IS is looking now., the only thing I'm 100% for is the Lexus new unique front grill design., ill post more later on more reference looks...

I think the more pictures I look at it the more I am liking it. There are two issues I have with the look though. Not sure if i care for the Nike Swoosh on the front (and seperate LED lights) and 2nd the big tail lights that extend too far to the side of the car. If those were fixed I'd like this look soo much better.. But I dunno

Thanks for the pics! Honestly, I'm not too impressed on the exterior styling. Not a fan of how the taillights swoop down the side like that and how the DRL led lights are separated from the headlights with that weird looking gap; makes the headlights seem dinky and unaggressive.

I think I'm sticking with my gen2 IS for awhile.

I love the display cluster and the seats. Lets be honest though: that front grill is HIDEOUS. Why cant they make it look like an LFA instead of that eyesore ill never know...
