Default Very nice pics

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.

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.

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.

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....
