It appears on these pics that the parking hand brake is gone and has been replaced with a 4th (or 3rd) pedal. It is OK as long as you get an automatic transmission, but gets pretty difficult to use with a manual transmission.

 

If Lexus is using that monitor for all model i.e. non nav and nav, that same screen should stay there for the main HVAC/Radio controls just like the 06 GS.

 

how would thouse paddle shifters work? would u shift the thing out of drive and put it in "S" in order to use them or u can leave the tranny in drive and use the shifters when ever u please? just wondering

 

These are more excellent pics, I love the instrument display lit up, looks

I can't wait to get this car and get my first Nav. I plan to get the IS350 Fully Loaded with every option available.

 

You have to shift it out of drive.

 

I like your plan

 

Just like the 1st gen E-shift, you need to put the shifter lever in "S" mode in order to shift with the paddle shifters or the console shift.

 

thanks people, just learned something new

 

and a bit more info, when you shift, the right pedal is for up shift and the left pedal is for down shift i believe

those colors look awesome?, r they the real car? but anyways looks hot

 

The middle one looks like a charcoal which would look great with brushed alumimun trim inside and makes the wheels stand out.

...who can't wait for Sept to come....

 

I really love the charcoal color, together with 18" 5 spoke GS type wheels it iwould be superb.

 

lol. it's built off the accord? no way? holy crap, that must mean it's junk then.
