Nope. I always find that pre-production model have lower graded interior. We will spot a better graded interior in the next couple of months.

 

I'm so disappointed in this car. I like 20% of what is new but the other 80% is just terrible. I really want to stick with Lexus, but the Audi A5 is starting to look more appealing. I'll reserve my judgement the day I see one and drive one in person.

 

Mother of god is the A5 boring in comparison:











And the A4 just looks old and dull by comparison:

 

^^ Lexus design is very detailed. It takes a lot of time and observation to appreciate the very little detail of the design.

 

yeah, that plastic under the wheel will certainly change... now centre console probably not. They do some minor changes from pre-production to final all the time.

 

Ya, replace the tacky plastic with leather and the interior still looks underwhelming

 

"this" is also a highly touched up pic or it was taken on another planet where the atmosphere just happens to have the same color scheme as the interior.

 

Thanks for the comparison.The A5 looks great!

And the RS5...just wow.

 

just wait until its released before jumping on the conclusion mat people

 

Everybody is hating on the headlamp washers but nobody did when they were on the LFA.

 

Gotta see it in person guys. You can't judge material quality unless you sit in the car and experience it for yourselves.

 

this is Euro model, US wont get them anyway... i think they are cool, just like on LFA.

 

I agree but someone posted he here saw and I believe sat in the IS exterior looks great but wasn't impressed with the new IS interior.He said it looked a bit cheap.

 

It's a pre-production prototype. This is not a 100% finished model. The actual piece is a textured plastic. The whole car is close to what will be used in production.

 

The new IS instrument panel is a departure from the 2nd Gen IS. For most of the guys out there that are used to seeing the 2nd Gen IS dash, it will be a departure for you all. If any of you have owned the 1st Gen IS and seen the LFA's dash design...you can see where some of the curves and shapes originated from. It really looks good in person. Don't let the photos fool you.
