I just wish Lexus did something about their infotainment software for a car that is likely to be a daily driver. I had it on my 3rd Gen IS 350 and I got used to it. But once you use iDrive, etc. the Lexus software feels ancient.

Regardless, I think it will sell well assuming pricing is not out of whack. I would have no issues owning it outside of the warranty period.
honestly with their current infotainment, it isn't horrible but most of us use apple carplay or android auto in their vehicles anyways. when i drive my 2020 RX i never use lexus's actual infotainment since i can just use carplay! their current system compared to my 2017 IS though is night and day!
Agree, Apple Carplay and the touchscreen definitely saves the infotainment, as well as the physical HVAC controls. The LC and LS unfortunately hide their seat heating controls in the cumbersome menus.
yeah that is really stupid on their part, i like the physical controls of the RX and IS and the other models
