Also you see the info on the normal cluster better and quicker cause everything is logical placed. I just think the normal cluster works better in the long run. You don't get tired of it and less things to break.

Also I think those cool stuffs could be backuped with a more powerful engine (we dont get 350 in europe )instead of a 4 cylinder hybrid car with CVT gearbox. What's the point with the rev counter in a hybrid? I drove ct200h many times and never get it. I think it's better suited in IS-F and LFA.

I dont know about ... Sweden? But I doubt many would buy IS350 anyway in Europe... a lot of CO2 bad for taxes, large V6 bad for fuel consumption. I loved my 3GS that I imported from USA, but fuel consumption in the city was 8l more than my IS220d.

IS300h should be awesome, i cant wait for it.

I agree that the 300h will be the best seller of the IS. But still it would be great if we have 350 so the buyer can choose between saving fuel and the performance. Just look at the BMW and Audi, their best seller is 320d and 2.0 TDI. But still I see plenty of 335i/d and 3.0TSFI/TDI on the road. Also, why don't we get AWD? What is the reason behind that decision?
