Nope. A lot better than to go hunting down the features on the screen. Dedicated seat heating/ventilation buttons are thumbs up!
Dedicated P/N/R/D buttons for trans positions s are also thumbs up! I've always loved push button automatics so that might be just me Have you tried putting Tesla in N?

I would rather have the buttons than go thru multiple screens to set seat ventilation, change the A/C, etc. I believe Tesla even has the windshield wiper controls thru their screen which is taking it a bit too far.

On a Tesla, you hold down the tranny stalk for 2 seconds to put it in Neutral. How hard is that? Also, windshield wipers can be activated on the left stalk button. Everything on the Tesla is easy to use. The issue isn't the difficulty, it's the fact that without tactile feel, you have to concentrate on which icon you have to press to get the functionality. Also, the voice feature on the Tesla can activate most of the features and much better most anything else on the market. But people don't like to talk to their cars

i have to say that looks pretty great at least outside. i do think that center stack is too busy, but still pretty cool.

That rear end looks great! Front looks really nice too. Only thing I don't like is the big rectangular "shield" over the Acura logo in the grille. I prefer the way Mazda does theirs. I like how they integrated the front parking sensors into the black plastic instead of the unsightly plug in the bumper look.

Type S with Optional Wheel Package. This looks pretty good better than anything Lexus offers at the moment in this class.

Oh come on! LC is .. Oh you mean four door. New IS is pretty good looking, similar philosophy like TLX proportion wise.

Oh boy, can't wait to see what other packages are going to bring this up near the $70K pricetag.

70K for a TLX? That would be pushing it even for a top-of-the-line RLX.

Disagree completely. Still don't get the appeal of this car, especially for the price. If I left Lexus, it wouldn't be for this. The exterior hasn't changed much (never appealed to me) and the interior is a mess.

A base Type S starts around mid-$50k. That's already the same price as a base RLX.

$70k for a TLX is more expensive than a loaded M340. I'd be surprised if it was that expensive given it's middling horsepower numbers.

It looks sportier than the ES for sure but most importantly, it offers AWD and a V6 at the same time.
