I haven't tried changing from ECO to either of the other selections but it probably just changes the computer controlled shift points. I'll check it out.
I'm not a fan of the 8 speed tranny in my 2019, much prefer the 6 speed in gen 6 Lexus cars...

For comfort, obviously. I use that most of the time since I have a heavy foot. I tested all 3 modes expensively when I first purchased the vehicle and found that Eco was my favorite mode since it accelerates very smoothly. Why would anyone want to drive like a maniac in a Lexus? LOL 
The sport mode is fun but I have the Camaro which gives me all the thrills I need.

I just wish there was a way to have it default to SPORT. At this point and by force of habit, I immediately hit the Frankenstein **** to SPORT the moment I start out. Nothing to do with drag racing - it just drives so much better IMO. And I prefer the graphics on the FSpport cluster that way as well

Drive Mode "ECO" should be thought of as "Active Eco", you Act to twist the **** and the car Acts differently.
Everything that uses power, uses less. Less A/C, less acceleration, less responsive cruise control.
Will stay on indefinitely until you positively press the **** down to return to Normal.
Drive Mode "Sport" changes the throttle and transmission mapping to provide the positive drive experience
many Club Lexus participants enjoy. I have read that if the cars could enter the EPA Fuel Economy test
cycles with Sport defaulted On then they would be tested that way...would not want those numbers on the sticker!
