are all new 2011's with these seats? it looks like the older is300 seats down the middle?

and it looks like on the tach, there are lights that will turn on as you get closer to redline? that's cool if so! the steering wheel is much better also. i like the leds, not bad.

Beautiful car! I live less than a mile from the dealer and Park Place Lexus in Plano had it on display right at the front.....I knew it would not last long. I love the color. not feeling the new seats or wheels, but gorgeous either way. Congrats!!

I love everything about the car except the seat, StealthFF I think your right how are they going to hold up over 5 year of everyday use. Had they just put some of Alcantara on the bolstered side of the seats rather than cover the entire center section including the headrest that would have been ok. Down the road I may have my seat recovered in leather perhaps black and blue or get a set of stock leather seat.

Nice car!

As for the seats, don't worry about it. I had my IS300 for almost 7 years as a daily driver, the Alcantara seats were fine. You won't have to recover them.

Ok, first of all coming from the I s 350 it's night and day difference between the two cars even though the is350 had the fsport suspension intake and exhaust the two cars feel nothing alike. Second third and fourth gears are just monsters, the acceleration is tremendous steering feel is very good precise and agile. Now not having any experience in the older ISF models I cannot compare the two ride quality but coming from my past experience in other vehicles that I have owned before. getting into my lexus such as my srt 4,eclipse spyder. turbo,mustang, camaro all of these cars had after market. suspension installed and most of them a harsher ride then in. my current 2011 isf. I Find the right to be firm and controllable Not harsh at all And this is coming from someone who is in new york commute to new york city everyday driving on some of the worst roads in the country. I like the fact that you don't have to keep the car Wound up get some excitement out of it Just down shift and GO. And other cool facts was when I was doing 70 miles an hour And look down at the tach and read just over 1800 rp m's That was amazing the car truly is doctor jekyll mister hyde
