I understand the internet loves to nitpick everything and for the amount of hate that Lexus reveals/updates get before the real thing comes out is just the typical circus that will come and go with the inevitable; "well the design is growing on me".View attachment 6898
1. They literally slapped a giant pad that looks arguably worse than current ipad onto the dash.
2. At least tuck the left side part into the padding area so it does not look "tacked on".
3. It must have been too hard for them to get contract from an actual supplier that are able to trim down those top and bottom fAT bEzELs.
4. Leave the clock where it's at behind the plastic cover.
I understand making it a touchscreen will never look as good as it sitting inside the dash but there are certainly ways to make it look more integrated.
Yeah, we are. The bar for the segment is set high. The original appeal of the LC was it managed to avoid the usual TMC BS. It was a project of passion. A refresh like this doesnt scream "we care deeply". Nobody at that company is taking risks, given they force individuals to accept all responsibility for any minor risks or excesses they take in producing a vehicle.The people putting down 110k for the LC aren't as worried about bezel sizes.

The car has been out for 6 years now. It isnt 2018 any more. The bar has been raised. You can get a full electric 7 series with a widescreen theater display in the back. High end mercedes are getting giant custom displays. Even Porsches are now getting some very slick interior tech.
Even in the Lexus LM it is only now we are hearing rumors around non outdated displays and even then for what that thing costs, it isnt nearly enough.
I think the BMW's worse than the LC in that lineup. Their bezel is overhanging the (fake?) wood trim, and from that angle at least it looks like the right side is farther away from the dash than the left, which is weird.Best
Thank youWhat a beautiful car. Very tastefully modified.
Super clean! Looks factory, but better.
I’ve been wanting a multi-stage hybrid IS and RC for the longest time as it would provide a healthy acceleration and mpg improvement over the -350 powertrain.Always unfair towards the NA V6 hybrid. I can’t think of any better hybrid. Maybe it would be better received in an IS 500h?
Even better!The Crown gets high 4s to 60. An IS RC multistage would be mid to low 4s
