Looks are subjective so for me, 2 looks... fine. There's certain details that are good: The yellow brakes we've talked about, the Thor's Hammer DRL's up front, the diamond-cut faced forged wheels. The rear looks chunky and overall, the proportions are odd. It reminds me of when Subaru did the SUS and Outback sedans where they took the Legacy sedan and gave it the Outback treatment (raised ground clearance, body cladding). It really has this sedan with SUV ground clearance thing going on and it's just strange, and this is the Performance Pack which is lowered. Thoughts? 📸: .t.

Exterior details: Everyone seems to agree gold/yellow brake calipers are awesome. I like the way the front radar for cruise control is integrated. The headlights on this model are Pixel LED and do a beautiful dancing animation when unlocking. The taillights do a cool animation as well during locking and unlocking. Overall, a handsome exterior even if the proportions are odd. 📸: .t.

04/23/2022

Interior details: A portrait-orientation display running Android Automotive OS. I didn't like how the HVAC controls were all in the touch screen with no k***s. Makes it difficult to operate when driving. The hazards, rear defroster, and front defroster are operated via a haptic button, like the home button on an iPhone 7. You basically have to look at the button to press them, and it can't be pressed while wearing gloves. Love the shifter though because it goes back to center after shifting. Very slick, like the one in the LC500. Gotta love yellow seat belts. 📸: .t.
