Did they lower it, or just the picture was photoshopped a little...

Got to see the new LC at Lexus’ Pebble display.

The good news is it still sounds GREAT.

The new screen on the other hand is a big downgrade from design standpoint and really makes interior look less special. Personally I would stick with 2023MY and older cars.
The wheels are also more hideous now. Really unbelievable that Lexus can’t offer several options of wheels that have better design and proper offsets.

It isn't the tablet per se that makes it looks bad, rather it is the fact that they are slapping a 2010 iPad with giant bezels and treating it as if it's a cheap 30k economy car when other manufacturers were already exploring the ideas of edge to edge curved OLED designs. Best of all no one has ever asked for changes to the wheels somehow they went itchy with their hands and decided to change the coloring just to make it looked different. A car previously regarded as an automotive piece of art got ruined because of their incompetence makes me extremely infuriating.

this looks terrible. not only the giant bezels but also they put that plastic 'chunk' where the cd player has been, removed the analog clock, largely wasted all the extra space now the trackpad is gone, and left the space to the right of the screen empty (on prior years there's a panel with a design and faint lighting behind it).

my '21 may have the trackpad and smaller screen, but at least it has a cohesive look and with voice commands, steering wheel controls as well, and android auto / apple carplay, i have no interest in upgrading.
