Just saw today, that the plastic surrounding the driving mode selector **** is not matte black.
It actually has sparkle in the paint, and the pearl\metallic effect shows when direct sunlight hits the paint. So it is some sort of matte black pearl color
If I'm the last one to notice thist, I'll blame the poor weather

On IS350 F Sport:
1. Navigation is so small
2. No memory seats
3. Suppose to have 19" wheels instead of 18"
4. Same old engine
5. No fog light in front
6. No power mirror
7. USB must be in horizontal not vertical side (plug in usb, console not close)
8. No red caliper
9. The back bumper look ugly
10. No backseat power shade
Small things can make big sale.

4: True, but the 3.5 is still sweet.
7: Bad design, you can get a small usb stick, but still.
8: Paint
Still lovin it though

I brought an 8gb stubby USB flash drive and it's small enough that the console door closes fine. I just leave it in there. I have my music files labeled in separate folders filed according to genre (rock, dance, trance, etc).

We noticed that there is only one 12v outlet and it's locating in the center console. Using a coiled power cable for windshield cell mount does not make things easy. Ours didn't come with an ash tray, so, no cigarette lighter.

Used the trunk yesterday and noticed they put old fashion crushing U hinges instead of hydraulics struts. That's really weird on a Lexus, IMHO.

The pursuit of F

Nice detail on the F-Sport grill showcasing the mini Lexus "L"s stuck together to make the grill.
What I didn't realize was that it starts off with thin solid "L"s at the bottom third and becomes progressively thicker towards the middle, then hollow toward the top third section.

I like how Lexus incorporated a laser brazing joint between the roof and the side member seam - previous generations had that rubber seam which always got in the way of wax residue.

I'm a bit bothered by the light that indicates that the passenger airbag is on. Does anyone know if you can turn of the light without removing the bulb or putting a piece of tape over it?
