Man the IS line-up has always had some of the coolest gauge clusters!

Love the blue needle and digital speedo, but don't like all the needles pointing down like they're dead. Driving down the road it's always going to be pointing down like the engine aint doing anything or your speed is crawling. I've always associated speed with the needles pointing to 2 or 3 O'clock.

Surprised they didn't wait to do this to the next gen. Pretty big change for the interior.

I still like the old model F gauge. It looks more proportional.

The 2011 put the main gauge in the middle and threw in whatever that was left.

my thoughts....

^ My thoughts exactly. The current one is more symmetrical.

i like the two equal sized circles for the speedo and tach.

works for the LFA, but not so much on the IS F

I love the layout. It's very easy to read. w/ speedo integrated into the tach.

But it'll be funny to see people do conversions because our cars don't even rev that high .
