Hello All:
Is it just me, or would it make sense to have an interior temperature gauge somewhere in the car? There are two displays for the exterior temperature (one on above the dash screen and one that can be displayed above the mileage), however, zero displays for interior temperature.

Or am I just missing a button to press or something?

I'm with you bro, dont make since to have two (2) gauges and they both read outside temp

My educated guess would be that it would get more people confused, then it would be helpful. With the auto climate control... you set the car for 70 degrees, and that is what you would assume the interior temp would be.

Now, if you had a gauge that displayed the interior temp, it would almost always conflict with what you have the auto climate set for... Lexus would have cars in the shop every week. With windows opening, the constant air flow inside, and both the passenger and the driver having a unique tempature setting with the dual climate control, it would do more harm then good... depending where the interior temp sensor would be installed.

Just my 2 cents... but it sounds logical.

weezer is right. There's no way to measure the interior temperature simply because it varies too much throughout the cabin to make sense of a single temperature readout. Even if they placed 10 sensors throughout the cabin and took the average of them, the number would still make little sense because it simply is not the temperature your body is feeling at whichever seat you're sitting in.

One unnecessarily complex solution would be to display the readouts of all those 10 sensors in a list in the nav screen, with numbers placed at their corresponding locations on an illustration of the car's cabin. But then it might be deemed overkill.
