Default 2010 Lexus LS 600hL Instrument Panel

Here is a quick clip of what the 2010 LS600hL instrument panel looks like when it lights up:

It has some very subtle cues from the LFA instrument panel .

very high tech looking- can't say that I'm a fan. I prefer two large speedo and Tach gauges personally. Still, I would love to have the car!

I think it looks very cool!... It's a computer screen now - no more mechanical dials/needles - awesome!

I like the technology,, not sure about the design but I think the TFT is the way to go until OLED is ready. I'm a big fan of this car and I'm sure Lexus has built some cool things into it like NAV turns etc. Would like to see it in action.

I like it. More cars need to go to all-digital displays. I've always wondered why the display always seems be stuck in time, when the rest of the car moves forward. Why are we still using stupid analog dials in 2010? This isn't 1908 anymore. I remember seeing a super rare Ford Windstar (of all cars!!!!) back in the mid 90's that a friend special ordered, and it has an all-digital display. I thought that was wayyyy cool. There were no dials at all! The rest of van was low quality and horrible, but the cluster was cool.

^^ Yes, the new XJ right?.. I saw that car too and the super charged is little over 100K - I don't know if they are reliable though... Tata motors... Weird driving an Indian Jag.

OLED actually is ready. Part of the RX gauge cluster uses OLED technology .

The S-class already uses this technology, Lexus just improved it... copy-cats.

There is definitely a similarity to the S-Class gauges. However, there is also a slight similarity to the LFA gauges. My guess is that the next-gen LS will have more unique gauges possibly using some of the technology of the LFA gauges.

i'm not saying the gauges are similar, instead that the LS is using LCD screen for the Instrument Cluster like the S550...
