Agreed. For the most part, Lexus concept interiors tend to be much less indicative of eventual production models than the exteriors.

In fact, some Lexus concepts don't even have an interior, being just mockups with opaque "windows"...

Hey Mike, I haven't done as well this year clearly, here I am posting

Didn't see your thread, I will look for it. I honestly have zero interest in the vehicle so doubt I drive it. Maybe if the Abarth version comes.

Not really sure how I'm being argumentative here, I'm just explaining my point of view and pointing out how this statement:

...holds as much water as the one you're deriding me on. My statement is an example of of broad generalization just like the one you made. Clearly you didn't completely comprehend what I said and if anything, you're the one being argumentative here.

The new speedo cluster in the new ISF is horrible. It's pretty hard to glance down and figure out how fast you're going while you're driving. Lets hope the new GS doesn't go that route.

Even though the Quad head lights are gone, they're going with...what do you call 6?

It's gonna be very different, never seen a car with 6 head lights before, but I am diggin it.

I also love how the LEDs are separate from the head lights, very cool.

What's bothering me though, is what the hell is that on the corner of the grille, where it begins? It looks pretty weird, and don't understand the purpose of it...

I have a feeling they are mixing future GS and the GS F cues here. I need more than these teasers now

There is good aggressive, and then there is bad aggressive. This falls into the latter for me, especially the front.

It's actually the Lexus hybrid headlight treatment. Check out the LSh, HS and RXh. I think the only ones not to have it is the GS and CT.

That little trim in the corner of the grille is just that, aluminum trim. I have it on my car (albeit a little ghetto looking version).



Note: this isn't my actual car

I didn't notice how cool the headlights were at first. Each of the LED projectors is covered by its own "bubble" and then the main piece in front of them serves as somewhat of a shield. Not so sure that I'm digging the separate LED strip, somewhat like the LFA II concept.
