Some neat changes.............however:
-tail lights still not LED
-mirrors remained unchanged
Those two still come from the very first 2nd gen IS.
Otherwise, those are some neat changes........

Looks like they've gone to the Porsche-tradition of putting a big tach in the center of the gauge cluster and a smaller speedo on the side. This speedo, though, IMO, is a little too small....and that's an important gauge, especially with the IS-F's power, if you want to keep from getting a speeding ticket.
The old model, with its rock-hard chassis (particularly the rear-suspension) was like a bucking-bronco over bumps and heaves....more or less like a somewhat quieter-running Mitsubishi Evo. We'll see if the new suspension is any more civilized.

with the softening of the suspension, I dont think they will get a comfort edge. Almost every review Ive read says that the ISF has a harsher ride than the C63 and the M3. With this change, its likely that it is now at the same level as the other two, probably wont have an edge

(the Nissan 370Z, if you are not already aware of it, also uses both analog/digital speedos, but does it the opposite of Porsche......they put the bigger analog gauge in the middle; the smaller add-on digital one off to the left).
