I'm sure you're not going to like to see this, but the IS honestly is a step backwards. You'll see why.

 

lol, thats funny.

 

After all these years on the internet I still get a surprise or two lol

 

What do you mean?

 

did you ever have an lexus before?

 

No, but I've been in several Lexus ISes.

 

Do they really look like gaps to you? If so, I have bad news for you.

 

well essentially, everything you circled is either design or angled pic making it look weird, you can take a look at hundred other pics of same vehicles, motorized switch for steering wheel has been like that for past 20+ years in Lexus and is certainly like that in 2IS, and only thing thats wrong could be that pull handle for opening bonnet but its preproduction car with pulled switch but in any case, things like that simply dont happen in production lexus.

if you can be sure of anything is that you will have world class build quality with Lexus.

When it comes to interior quality, so far pretty much every "first drive" said it is top of the class.

 

These cars are preproduction prototypes. On the sun visors of review units it states that they are preproduction and that any fit and finish issues are not reflective of the final production vehicle.

 

That's totally wrong in the labeling dept.
More gaps mean less RATTLE-it's further apart so they're not rubbing together

 

I'll be able to tell you all first hand on April 4th when I go to train on the car. I'm hoping the quality is more GS than ES (which as most of you know I despise because of cost cutting)

 

Those "gaps" are all by design...

 

how are more gaps going to be more rattles, when you have things tight together you are going to get more rattles, rubbing, and noises

 

I work for Toyota fit n finish is never a problem its got to be the angle of the shot that makes it look that way or that's how it was designed Toyota knows what they are doing

 

Except when it comes to the ES and cost cutting
