At first, I wasn't sure about the redesign but now it's grown on me. I'd probably end up switching to the new IS whenever my lease is up or close to. I do like how they kept the F Sport model's only 350's. I also hope they have auto-folding mirrors.

Anyone surprised by the 19 inch wheels
on the Fsport? The IS model
fits well for the urban, close-in suburban driver.
But the potholes, etc.! Seems like force feeding
the 19 inch wheels does not make sense.

I think they are. But when you look at BMW and Mercedes, most of their "sport" models like M-Sport and AMG include those 19" wheels. And wasn't the ISF on 19" wheels? I wouldn't mind the standard 19 on the F Sport models only.

No power-folding mirrors (you can tell in the close-up shots of the driver-side window controls -- there is no button for it). Only Asian markets have gotten this feature. I'm disappointed too...I have a narrow-*** garage...and these new angular mirrors seem larger than the current more curved ones.

I emailed Westminster, CA Lexus and they said per Lexus that there is auto-fold mirror option in the USA 2021 Lexus but not totally confirmed yet. A bit of a wishy washy answer. I thought I caught a glimpse of the mirror button on one of the videos.(I'll have to search again).
