is350_boi Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I am planning to purchase the is350 in sports package. This is basically loaded except the navigation and bluetooth. This model will not have the LCD screen right? The dashboard looks so much nicer and well placed with the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 no it will not have the LCD screen for the NAVI. Instead there will just be controls for airconditioning. All cars usually look better with nav because it can hide buttons. Look at the RX for example, i think the interior is hideous without nav.

SW03ES Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hideous? Come on. You have a knack for over-dramatization. True, modern dashboards look better with nav because they're designed FOR nav, but the IS and the RX both are still attractive without it. On a side note, I'll never buy another car without nav.

Rx330driver Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 ill admit the IS one is fine...but the RX... im sorry, without exagerating, its really really ugly...that emercency stop button is like 5 inches long...does it really need to be that big and take up an entire row of space? thats my main gripe. but it really is ugly...ithink they should have left a bigger screen, maybe not as big as the nav one, but something around 4 inches...for the clock, computer info, and aircon at least the red parts are bad you will notice that the red area is everything the NAV car does not have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I know what it looks like, I get them as loaners all the time. I just don't get it, its not that different. In fact, 90% of people wouldn't even notice the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexuus Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 correct me if im wrong but isnt that about how long it is in most lexus and toyota cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 your wrong, lol...on my rx with nav, the button is like 2 inches, but on the non nave one it is at least 4...seriously, im not even exagerating. 2 is normal, 4 is not. look at the picture i posed, the Emergency stop button is longer than the Lexus lettering above the radio....

bartkat Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I really don't think us IS drivers really care how long it is. :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93LSOwner Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 In an emergency it might come in handy. Remember, size does matter ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
