Learning about the 2007 Lexus IS350

[@Toyota4Life]

The interior and dash is a head of its time. That interior was designed in 2006... it's now 2017 and still looks better then some interiors on brand new cars

A manual transmission Sportcross IS300 was never sold. If you see one, it is a custom swap. So not many of those to be found, sadly. =/

[@andrewp9954]

The cup holders in the glove box could be from the designers, they tend to just modify previous year designs as most of the beginner engineers are in charge of smaller details. If there is something in the CAD data that no one knows the purpose of, they tend to leave it as long as it doesn't cause any issues.

SO injection moulds are silly expensive, and take an awful lot of expertise (as spoken around 1:30) to design properly. Chances are they used an old one, simply because it'll save them, potentially, millions on manufacture - not just making the moulds, but also all the design that goes into, well, designing a mould. You gotta know how the plastic is going to shrink as it cools, and get that right for every part. You gotta know how the part will come out, how it fits to other parts and how well it fits into the machine you're using.

[@jasonlitherland4270]

Yeah and the device that makes the small plastic shit are like fifty ton monstrosities involving robot arms and flame throwers

[@eleonik76]

I would never understand the people who brag so much about the mid rear seat,being shortened by the RWD shaft tunnel. I got wife and two kids and never ever needed to make our car a bus. If accidently we need to put some of the kids friend there,never heard anyone complaining. I want to see and talk to the person,who travels with 4 adults in the car on a daily basis. That's like to get a FWD car and to complain why you can't go off roading. Sure,if you get a RWD platform car,you will get that tunnel,if you will use it as a taxi,get a FWD car without the hump. As simple as that.

[@Pube83]

S.T T. Right. This reviewer is a tool box. It's basically a coupe and he's bitching about middle rear seat legroom and cup indents on the inside of the glovebox...on the most reliable sporty car from 2006...that also has the best resale of any mainstream car.

I’ve even driven the 1986.5-1997 D21 (which y’all have reviewed.) it’s nice, but I think the 720 was still way better as far as quality and style.

No, it was because it wasn't completely turned off (see the nav screen was still on). After the drive, he probably pushed the start/stop button before putting it in park. It only shuts completely down when you have it in park. That's what often happens when people (that are normally used to manual cars) drive in mine too.
