The 10.3-inch infotainment screen is big, but the Enform technology is outdated and needs to be retired.

See that little joystick in the background? That's the Remote Touch handle. I wanted to kill it with the fire of a thousand suns. Keep scrolling through for more photos of the 2017 Lexus IS 200t F Sport.
