I thought one of the best interior design-themes Lexus ever used (and I'm not saying this just because I owned one LOL) was the 1Gen IS300 and its chronograph-style gauges and chrome-ball shift-handle (real polished-metal chrome, not cheap plastic). My only complaint with the panel was that the tiny vacuum/fuel-econony gauge was a waste....that space, IMO, could have been better-used for oil-pressure or oil temperature. I also would have preferred a straight/fore/aft movement of the shifter instead of the zig-zags, but that chrome-ball lever was NICE. From what I understand, those features were also included in the Toyota Altezza.
Okay that little vacume MPG gauge might officially be the most useless gauge of all time. At least scale it correctly, with 25mpg being the top spot on the peg, cause the 2JZ-GE MIGHT get that falling off a cliff.

I'll rate it a close-second to the green turn-signal indicator, in the older French cars, that flashed BOTH green arrows at the same time LOL. My brother's old 1979 Renault Le Car had that idiotic feature.

Agreed. Best I ever got was 22...though I never had it on a long trip on the Interstate. It guzzled 93-octane gas like a V8.
Without a doubt I feel the finest interior in the company's history will belong to the upcoming LS. They went above and beyond what I felt Lexus was capable of. Save for the lack of metal-finished buttons, the interior design and material quality matches and even exceeds some of the best from Germany (glass trim? Amazing). Build quality remains to be seen, as the outgoing LS was pretty mediocre from this perspective. However, the LC500 bodes well for the LS in this area.
