1200-1300 is m5 money but hard for a M6. Maybe till the new model comes out and get a 17' for cheap.
M6 is around 1600-1800 depends on options.
Will LC really lease for 1200-1300? Doesn't Lexus have that good of a lease for 100k?
never look into Jag so don't know the price, for a R it could be over the budget?
I don't like the F type due to loose handling, but the exhaust is best of the price range!!

m5 is also around 100-110k, so if that car can be had for 1200-1300 (i think m5 can be had for a little less because bmw has more aggressive lease), then i think the same range for LC is possible
correct that it's impossible to get the m6 at that range. it will be in the 1500 range. and if you creep into the m6 gc that can get even higher.
although timing is still everything. there was a 2015 (yes you read that right) m6 gc that they just got rid of two months ago for 1400 (msrp 130k)

Anyone else find it a bit odd Lexus decided to split up the volume and multimedia controls. They're both on separate spokes. Not a deal breaker by any stretch, but just odd...

I really don't like the instrument cluster at all. It's too small and unfortunately it's the direction they're seemingly going with for all of their cars.
Compare this to Audi's virtual cockpit's huge configurable screen or Mercedes wide view, configurable screen and this thing looks rather meek.
It relies way way too much on switching modes to get information whereas the others can just display a lot more simultaneously, with no button pushing, scrolling or any user action at all and they do so without looking cluttered. Everything you need or want can be obtained at a glance without any button pushing. That makes a big difference.
Go go sit in a new Audi or S550 and compare for yourself. It's a difference.
Wish they would change.

You make an interesting point
Essentially Lexus is sharing/adapting the look/feel from the LFA interior (a good thing)
Other brands are exploiting the design flexibility available from OLED screens

You may be in the minority on this one.

Well compare for yourself.
What I like is that I can see or you can configure it to see, ALL AT ONCE:
Range
Fuel info
Outside temp
Radio Station
Media info
Phone status
Nav info
Elevation
Time
And of course you can configure these.
The Lexus requires countless scrolls through separate screens and modes to see all of this and it definitely can't be all seen at once.

Yes but we're talking about luxury sports cars.
Here is a better comparison. MB SL AMG 63

I don't see why you would want to see less because it's a "sports car."
Audi is moving in this direction for all of their cars, S, RS. Same for Mercedes, with the S and E being the first. The S coupe and E coupe both have those screens NOW.
In any case, it is a preference and I personally think the Lexus instrument cluster looks dated and old and light on desirable features.

The only reason the SL has that physical gauge cluster is it's an older generation MB. When it's completely refreshed like the other cars in the line it too will have the virtual cluster.
Virtual cluster is the future, I gotta agree with Rhambler here.

this thread is not about the price specifically. the comments were about the controls/ergonomics, and other poster is entitled to their opinion, just as you are yours. i don't think they were 'just nitpicking to make the car look purposely bad'. let's move on.
