Digging the gauge cluster! It would be cool for someone to experiment on one to fit our current 2IS. OR I'll just wait for the Next Gen ISF

Seats don't look too comfy... Not much to mod on the inside now.... Yea, start button looks hideous where they placed it. Bad planning.

3IS central console is beginning to reveal itself - looks much smoother with the raised palm rest insert behind the joystick in the second photo...

For those that have been inside the LFA, it seems very LFA inspired in design.

Lexus has really scored big this time. The only question now is, should one trade in their old IS or start an IS collection?

I've never been in an LFA, but I dont like the rounded dash mixed with the flat CD changer console...again just my opinion, but maybe when its fully revealed i will be wooed...the plastic where the trunk and gas tank buttons are looks cheap, but at least they gave us a leather dash or it appears to be leather on top of the instrument cluster so MELTING DASH BE GONE....

I like the LFAish instrument panel. Lexus has done it again!

For YEARS we have asked for red leather. I believe on special edition SC 430s offered it here. We love our GS F-sport's cabernet interior. To see it in the IS is just awesome as well!

No one has mentioned the loss of the trademark sideways digits on the tach. The IS has had this unique feature since the beginning.
Also wonder how much wear will take place along the temp touch control sliders. Take a finger and rub it on any surface for three years and it's going to show a different finish.
The "PRND" graphic would look better if they dumped the white lines connecting the letters. I don't think those lines have assisted one driver in the history of Toyota/Lexus.
