Wait until you see the screen in person though. It's a sight to behold.

Speed
But if you want to nitpick, i hate the idea of the tach being on the right and speedo on the left. It's not conventional Toyota/Lexus placement for these guages.
I'm wondering if Lexus was influenced by BMW's tach on the right and speedo on the left.
I have placed my order with the local Lexus dealer (IS 350), but I'm having a hard time waiting!

TRDSports @ my.is spotted the new IS in Torrance, CA, and was lucky enough to snap a few shots.

Thanks filp for the pictures! those pictures are amazing!
Pearl White looks amazingly good. But past years, all my cars had been white and i am thinking if i should get another white or not. I am torn between Breakwater Blue (or watever it is) and Pearl White with black interior.
Btw, seaweed green doesnt look too bad after all!

Wait ... wait ... I think we have LED tail confirmation 
Those clearly look like LEDS to me ... the more pics that come out, the better it looks.
I think it will look DAZZLING in person, just like the new GS.
I'm getting so excited now, can't wait to see the new ES and LS

I'm watching the 10th photo and I see a handbrake, not the foot "handbrake"!!!
Do they put a real handbrake in the model for Europe? Or only for manual transmission?Or do they change their mind, and put a real handbrake for all?
The foot parking brake is a big no-no for European market, I think. I am grad they put a handbrake.
