ES300h is a great car, but I wanted to wait until its 2nd model year. However, the interior feels a little low tech compared to what else is out there.

All in all it sounds like the 300h might not be the car for you even if you wait a model year.

The joystick controller found in most Lexus' allows the nav to sit higher on the dash and it's much easier to view up there. It would be extremely difficult to use in that location if it had a touch panel. The analog clock is present in most higher end vehicles, so your example is moot.

Nothing against the ES in general, and overall I really like the car. But I don't see why Lexus went for such a lawyerly look inside.

"the GPS is what will dictate for me if I buy"
"I'd prefer a touch screen and a digital clock"
The GPS system is not going to change. Either is the clock. If you take a look at the entire Lexus line, the basic design inside and out is similar from car line to car line. Lexus is obviously happy with the design and so are the vast majority of Lexus customers. They are also totally committed to it [in all their vehicles] and could not change it at this point even if they wanted to.
In any case, in general, major changes cannot/are usually done because of the tooling/manufacturing process involved. Each vehicle's design is a multi-year commitment except for perhaps minor cosmetic changes several years into the production cycle.
The only mouse that would have been in a 1988 vehicle would have been a four legged one!

He's way ahead of his time. Doc Brown with his time machine, 4 footed furry mouse and the digital readout (clock).
