Default From Lexus Event!

I must say seeing it in person, I think this looks really nice. I love the styling especially the LFA inspired speedometer. I also had the pleasure of speaking with one of the Lexus specialist traveling with the car. The fact that most of the F-Sport IS will have LED headlamps and will have 3D navigation makes me a little jealous. He also explained that most of the Lexus line-up will go this route so guess I may need to trade-in. I think it will sell with no problem this car looks amazing, I just wish they did most of it with the GS.

Great sighting. I wonder how do you compare the brightness (not the color) and the range of the LED headlamps vs HID, say the one from regular 3IS or 4GS?
