Nice review and it is good to see Lexus improving upon the IS-F with significant upgrades this many years into its cycle.

Am I the only one who HATES that gauge cluster?

Dont get me wrong, I love the car, but the why is the speedometer so small?

Got it, its supposed to be a track oriented car, so of course you want to pay more attention to your RPM than your speed on the track (actually, you really want to pay equal attention to both), but lets think practicality Lexus...how many customers who purchase an IS-F are ACTUALLY going to put it on a track?

I am guessing 5%...MAYBE.

Thats really my only gripe, the rest of the car looks phenomenal.

EDIT: just looked again, noticed the digital speedo within the tach. NICE touch. Mind changed, and I am retarded for not seeing it earlier.
