I like the digital clock, to me its kinda cool that the same basic clock design has been in so many toyotas from my friends 88 supra to my old 96 land cruiser and now in my 06 IS
..Lexus got "cheap" when it came to designing the clock? I mean, I Love my IS, but every time I look at the digital clock it reminds me of my Dad's old 1985 Nissan Maxima. Even my 12 year old son mentioned that the clock looks "out of place". I'm just saying...lol
Probably the same as baseball player never washing his lucky t-shirt.....
Seems like everybody say that. But lets face it, there are only to types of a clock: digital or analog, and you can't get fancy with the digital one.
Also majority of cars have digital clocks, and everyone hates only the one that lexus has
I wonder if you could pop off the clock lens, polish it until that stupid red hue is gone then apply a light grey tint. Crystal clear and a hint of grey to match interior.
That was the reason they changed the clock for 09, to get rid of the red hue. The result was the green clock.
You won't be able to polish the red hue away either, since the plastic itself is red, it will always be there.
Personally, I am not a fan of analog clocks, but I don't care much for the 2IS clock either. There are some newer Lexus models that have a much nicer clock, like the HS250h and CT200h.
