How does rioja red comp to cab red?

At least in the pics,the interior looks cheap.Especially the center console and center dash up from the console.
The Smart Start button looks like an after thought.

I hope Lexus used lots of felt tape in between all those different adjoining plastic pieces, or the creaks and rattles may be numerous.

I'd bet it looks really nice in the flesh.

I'm a gamer, so it's the best looking interior in this segment IMO.

The improve the rear space so much. If you look carefully, you can see that the front seats are all the way pushed back, and the rear space is still acceptable.
