If you don't appreciate the fact that Lexus cares enough to build this car, you're an asshole.

The only decent application of the predator grill.

But is it really radio controlled?

This, however, is a problem.
The original SC300 had the option of shift it yourself with a clutch. Until 1997.

It's a coupe, I'm sure they will offer a manual, at least in some markets.

I'll believe it when I see it, knowing the Lexus product planners.

I respect that they're building the car. For the love of God they have to back the styling off one or two clicks though. They're trying too hard.

I find it unlikely, I suspect it will get the same 8 speed direct transmission that is in the current IS-F

I grudgingly accept that the car looks kinda cool. It might even be nice to drive. But seriously, there is absolutely no way I'm ever going to get a car that has a damned laptop trackpad like this.

Well, we all use trackpads on laptops today, so operating the infotainment of the car, will come as natural as using your laptop.

I don't want to operate a car's infotainment system. I want to drive the car. Yes there's the occasional adjusting HVAC or stereo, and making phone calls (hands free yo!) but give me my damned buttons and knobs and not a computer.
I say this even though I work at a tech company staring at dual monitors all day, have multiple laptops, iPad, smartphone, etc etc etc. I don't want to mess with that nonsense while driving.
The particularly stupid thing about all this infotainment crap is that the useful life of a car is way longer than your average smartphone/tablet/whathaveyou. In my searching for a winter car, I last week test drove an '04 4Runner. It had navigation. The 2004-vintage navigation system is horrendous, and that's how you're stuck messing with the stereo on that car.
Buttons & knobs with only as much of a display needed to accomplish the function > infotainment
