Only if you get the $6300 lux package. Then you get everything with it. I did not want to spend the money, $40K for a 250 is ridiuclous.

Also, didn't want woodgrain, and backup camera, turning headlinghts, etc. not worth imo with a newborn at home.

Yeah, lexus needs to be a little more serious and stop slapping on these cosmetics upgrade and calling them sport.
But it does have a manual

so they took our IS AWD wheels and a bodykit and made an SR model? interesting. I thought they'd put the X-package wheels.

I love those suede seats though!

I'm guessing the colours are Obisidian Black, Smokey Granite Mica and Breakwater Blue Metallic?

The euro IS and also the japanese market offer suede seats the only thing unique is it takes the sport S from europe and adds different wheels and a full bodykit and is still cheaper than a regular sport. As for heated seats in america you can get heated and vented seats with any of the option packages these seats are only heated.
