It's a Lexus, which means it can't be cool (Toyota can, for being a bit blue-collar). And since it's comfortable and has an automatic, that makes it seriously uncool.
It doesn't matter how fast the gearbox makes shifts, explain that to the engineers all you want, but a normal person would be bored before you say the second word. Automatics are uncool. It may very well be fast, but so is an airliner.
