I hate the interior on the later IS's, they've really made a mess of it IMO. Too much chrome pieces around the nav and CD slot. And fugly silver trim on the steering wheel. All just visual noise, too many material transitions.
I still love my IS. 6+ years old, and still nothing comparable (in it's class) IMO. But Lexus has made some poor (interior) aesthetic design choices. Considered replacing the 350 with an IS-F, but can't get past the seats (what are they thinking.... red or white leather ) or "stylish aluminized composite trim". Hoping the redesign addresses those items.
