Consumer reports was less than charitable in their quick review today. They're usually more upbeat on Lexus products:

All reviewers seem to focus on the infotainment system as the one item that makes the Lexus unacceptable . First off it seems to me, you only go into the multi levels to do the initial settings and after that items like temps and audio items are adjustable with the knurled knobs or buttons. Their anger is overplayed, spread the word.

Complain about the seat and steering wheel heater, fail to mention Climate Concierge and its ability to control all HVAC functions based on the desired temperature.

What do you expect? They have to complain about something to make sure the Germans stay on top! Can't wait to start seeing the LS on the road!

This is CR we’re talking about, they definitely do not have a love affair with German automakers.

I too can’t wait to see this in person. I have very mixed opinions about the exterior styling so I’m looking forward to continued exposure.

all the UK reviews mentioned LS is loud, bumpy and has poor interior quality compared to the Germans.

Then we read US reviews and we wonder what are they smoking.

The LS is not perfect, but those criticisms are insane.

I would be shocked if the LS is that bad, can't believe it. Can't wait to see more US reviews and customer reviews. The British do love their German cars though....
