Nah interior pics for the LFCC came out in September, not the close up but you can clearly see the clusters inspiration. And covered IS concepts have been driven almost all year long. Some lines can be seen from there. ANyways, discussion is moot anyways. Just agree to disagree I guess.
But yeah, Detroit Auto Show can't come soon enough.
thats the thing though nobody buys an IS250 and expects it to be sporty its not meant to be
dude in the OP is ******ed for comparing an IS250 to a Evo's and WRX's
thats clean
what do you think about the GS and what other cars were you looking at before you bought it?

You're not alone.
I was looking just the other day and saw a fantastic blue IS-F, but I really feel like i'll be stretching myself too far if I purchase it.

Anyone else absolutely HATE new school digital speedo/tach displays ?
Theres something about not having separate analogue gauges that just pisses me off to no end.
I feel like the ever growing influence of videogames in the car world is responsible for this.

that display is right off the LFA, in which regular analog meters couldn't keep up with the speed of rev (accel/decel). Seeing this digital one in action is pretty cool.
...but i agree with you. there's nothing like old school tacho/speedo. its timeless imo and can look amazing at night given the right lighting color combos.i don't even like the single tacho x digital speedo setup. looks wack.. keep it all old school like so...

technically speaking wouldn't a traditional manual car almost always lose an automatic ******, esp one with paddle/twin clutch etc? u can see the sti lag when the dude shifts whereas the IS-F had a constant pull going.

after further review, this interior is
. IS apparently run small so my 6'2 *** may not feel quite at home in this, but this is CLEAN. if only that was a manual gearbox., and maybe have a D shape steering wheel...

Da lower da speeds da better it can handle power. Its a trade off though because
It effects gas mileage.

These days, dual clutch ******s will kill and out-shift practically any manual ******s out there, no question. I mean dual clutch already pre-selects the next gear and predicts which one you need next and change within a mili-second, it isn't even really fair.
There is just something about shifting your own gears though.

Exactly, a maxima can reach 40k but that does not mean its worth that proce tag.
To me lexus is a glorified toyota, the only models i am a fan of are the fsports and lfa but to each their own

Why no wood grain? To be honest, this car seems overpriced. I do not understand the hype.
Ftw I would buy a nice, maintained 1995 e400 w124 for around 6k.
Then I would look forward to spending around 3k in replacing old suspension/steering parts.
Your total will come out around 10k. You would have 2x the car for 30k less.
I put money the e400 would dust any is/gs/ls Lexus that came out in the last 20 years.

I don't think it will be, the IS250 is already in direct competition with the A4.
I think the A3s competition will be the A-Class and 1&2 series. They already got the hatch covered and BMW 1-series sedan is in the works.

But you still have an almost 20 year outdated car. Yes you can fix it up, and if youre into a classic/older look then thats all you.
The interiors on almost all these new cars coming out are just amazing. Am I the only that doesnt really like wood in my interiors?

You have a point Picasso, but I honestly feel like the e class aged well. I feel like in 20years the Lexus will be laughable in terms of design, while the mercedes retains its classic look. The interior on the BMW looks nice, but where's the wood? Can someone please tell me why they are not putting wood in these newer cars?
