The center console introduced in 2016 in the S and X. It provides considerable hidden storage space, so we’re going to consider this implemented.

Center console is not used in a reasonable manner. Storage for small things is needed in the arm area. Much better center consoles on Lexus, many others. I purchased a small leather covered black box to slide under front edge of driver seat. A whole, pull-out shallow drawer could be there. Much as I admire the engineering on the car, the center console needs rethinking and a better solution done by someone with aesthetic sense.
The whole middle section seams poorly designed with a lot of wasted space.
The cup holders are positioned so you can't put cups in them because your elbow is there instead. - The 'armrest' has no storage. - The area where the gear stick/hand brake in another car would be is no good for storing anything other than a handbag; as anything put there needs to be taken with you when you leave the car so that it isn't on display to any passing thief.
building a better centre console (that isn't an extra, and is available world-wide) that has enclosed storage, better positioned cup holders and 12v output for charging phones, iPods, etc. would, I am sure, be much appreciated by most prospective buyers.

Those useless cup holders under your elbow between the front seats ARE storage space. Small things like gum, etc., fit nicely.
