Amazing flash animations, and the presentation of the GS and SC includes many unique submenus that describe the cars in great detail---also a very nice color chart, where you can select fore and aft views. Very detailed--moreso than any other Lexus site.
The 'Service' menu describes the future Lexus owner's website, and also 'G-Link' -- Lexus' answer to OnStar it seems, with several features including 'G-Book," whatever that is:

The photography and artistic nature of this website is breathtakingly beautiful...
Also check out the "L-Finesse art movie' from here:
http://lexus.jp/m_d_w/index.html
Naturally, since the IS is not yet released, the flash site is not so large. But the downloadable PDF brochure, linked elsewhere, shows lots of detail, from the illuminated scruff plates, to interior blue mood lighting, to the frame structure and airbags:

Did you guys notice on one of the flash screens that the interior seats were not leather ? It looks similar to the escaline seat trim of the 1IS.
I wonder if that will be available here.

G-Link/Gbook is interactive nav system, completly different from Onstar. With new Glink service you can order songs from Toyota and store them on your Gbook (which is nav with internal hard drive). There are other interactive features as well. Variations of Gbook have been in use for a while now in Japan and several other companies are starting to use the service as well (Subaru, Mazda, etc).

Thanks for the links. I checked out the one for G-Book, under service and sub pages there are actually videos of the features including traffic rerouting and what spwolf is talking about. The ability to buy songs and store them on the hard drive.
It even has on-demand karaoke.

Doubt some of these features make it to the US model. If the new model comes with the hard drive, first question will be how to hack into the drive to store our own music that can be played on the audio system.

I love how they are showing more & more Non Wood Shots.
So I guess Black wood is out? I've not seen one blackwood pic. I think the blackwood on the GS is hot.

I don't think these are cloth seats but Alcantara Leather:
Alcantara is a non-smooth surface leather and it's even more expensive than the "normal" leather.
We have three packages to choose here in Switzerland:
Business: cloth seats
Edition: leather seats (smooth surface), wood trim
Virage: Alcantara seats, aluminium trim
So Alcantara is for the fully loaded version only. I prefer Alcantara since it keeps the body in the right postion without slipping a mm.
