2021+ IS Picture Thread

Seriously looking at the IS350, but I am concerned about the driver's seat area size. I drive roughly 40k miles a year for work. I am 6'0" and about 210lbs. I love the looks of this, but want to make sure it's comfortable given the amount I am on the highway. The ES just doesnt do it for me.
Two questions:
1. Does the drivers cockpit area feel too snug for the type of driving I'll be doing?
2. What kind of highway mpg do you get with your RWD? I have seen as low as 22 and as high as 30.

I managed to get 30 MPG on a highway trip recently, but more realistic city/ highway driving for me is low-to-mid 20's. I don't get on the highway much, so I'm usually only getting 20 or 21.

Now I am 5'11 and very slim (even lighter than arentz007) so the cockpit is not an issue for me and I find it to be one of the most comfortable interior ever!! I had a 2015, a 2017, even the 2019 RC I had was a similar interior, and now, my 2021 IS feels just as good.
On the fuel mileage, I can't help as I have an AWD.

I'm going to agree with some of the other sentiment here, to try out a ~2018-2020 IS to see how you like the interior fitment. It's definitely on the "cockpit" side, but I've always preferred that in my cars. I'm 6' ~145lb, though, so I'm on the slim side and like a smaller interior. For your commute pattern and being a bigger guy than I am, I would (despite your mention) probably encourage you to take a test drive in a new AWD ES F Sport. That would be a phenomenal car to eat up miles in.

Just took delivery of my special order car yesterday...placed the order in May, just before the chip shortage, so I got lucky! Absolutely thrilled with the 3T5 in person, and it's getting tons of compliments. Can't wait for the F Sport exhaust install...the stock setup isn't bad, but a little extra bite like the stainless catback on my other car would be nice.
For those wondering:
AWD, no moonroof, yes triple beams, yes nav, no ML. Trim plates, 3M 1/4 bra, all weather mats (instead of the liners), F Sport exhaust.

F-Sport Performance Exhaust installed. Startup is noticeable now with a tiny bit of crackle. Idles just like stock. Slight hum cruising from 1.5K - 3K RPM. Nice VQ like rasp above 4K RPM. Overall a mild exhaust. Fairly easy install. Chock front wheels, jack up the rear from the differential, place jack stands at the rear pinch welds, remove the x4 14mm flange bolts, slide mufflers off the rubber hangers. Install new muffles in the reverse order.

Went on a little fun drive in the North Georgia mountains today.
