And I understand the LS460 Sport also has the same box as the IS F. Motortrend when they reviewed the LS460 Sport were very impressed with the lightning fast shifts and the down-shift rev-matching.

 

really, meh... i wonder who, when i asked about isf tranny, told me it's a single-clutch design i can't say i am impressed with lexus fanbois trying to just twist every fact

 

lol, not really disagreeing with you Henry, not sure of the specifics but it is fast as Batman has agreed with us.

THere was a chart I can't find it though

 

No, I would prefer 8 or 9 inches, because that is the sweet spot. A 12 or 13 inch information screen would be too massive in a car and would just cause too much of a distraction for the driver IMO.

 

Wrong forum dude

 

ahahahaha

"that's what she said"

 

HAHAHHAHHAHAHa



Its called innovation, leading. That is what Tier 1 luxury brands do.

The Tesla will have a huge screen as well.

 

That screen in the Tesla is ugly and its a gimmick. Actually buttons, switches, ***** and dials are way more expensive and reliable than a disposable touch screen. You can get a 24" screen for about $200 these days.

 

not the one they use in automotive world of course.

 

but yes, non tactile screen instead of buttons? not for real cars.

 

lol, was wondering if I was the only person thinking that.

 

oh, sorry, i didn't mean to imply that the isf shifting is slow. i am quite happy with the isf shifting actually. up shift is a bit disappointing, but downshift is brilliant. that's actually why i asked if it's auto or manual design, and i obviously got fooled by someone. and no that's not you!

 

I am attaching the chart Henry is referring to.

The shift speed of the ISF is 100ms. By comparison the Cambiocorsa in a Ferrari is about 300ms, and a SMG III is 65ms. SMG III though is not very smooth like the ISF and Ferrari shifts. SMG II was 85ms I think.

I also like the new ISF instrument cluster.

 

good article. yes, the up shift lag time on the isf is exactly what i experienced. and the down shift lag time (very short) is great on the isf. speed and smooth usually don't go hand in hand with each other anyway. the smoother it is, the slower it is (in general). get in the lfa sport mode and shift speed to fast and man, it hurts

btw, does it make sense that isf has auto tranny so it shifts faster (the shift time itself) than computer controlled manual tranny? lfa shift time is 200ms, kind of silly if all those work on lfa and it shifts slower than isf

Oh, well if I were in that forum, then I would prefer a 10"
