All I want is them sway bars and hopefully the rims are different but glad to see it got expanded for the GS350 and something for the AWD owners!

do the current GS/IS come with some sort of LSD like a torque sensing or helical? If not, F-Sport needs one. I have a stock GS400 and I really wish I had a LSD sometimes.

nop, i believe they both have open differential?

just get the supra lsd if you want but to be very honest, i don't see that much of a benefit on it unless the car is pushed to the limit

Those seats are for real.

The IS-C will have three interior color options: Black, Alabaster, and Alabaster/Blue combo.

Here is a list of the Lexus IS-C U.S.-market color combinations for its first model year (2010), listing exterior color first, followed by available interior colors:

Starfire Pearl : Alabaster, Black or Blue/Alabaster
Tungsten Pearl : Alabaster, Black or Blue/Alabaster
Cerulean Blue Metallic : Alabaster or Black
Ultrasonic Blue Pearl : Alabaster or Black
Matador Red Mica : Alabaster or Black
Smoky Granite Mica : Alabaster, Black or Blue/Alabaster
Obsidian : Alabaster, Black or Blue/Alabaster

I am impressed. VERY impressed Lexus with Lexus continuing to invest in "F-SPort" and not give up on it.

This is very encouraging. SO GLAD the GS gets some much needed attention!!!

I wish lexus had put this much effort in the L-tuned lineup back then. All we get were stinkin' badges and springs

Everything is the same for the GS, but it'll have designated F-Sport options.

Would have been nice, right?

Oh well. The 4GS should make an appearance by late 2010 for sale in early 2011 as a model year 2012.

If the F sport Springs for the AWD drops the AWD lower than the F sport regular on the AWD now, then I'm gonna be sooooooooo mad lol

Overall I like the Lexus approach to this product line, but I'm also just ok with the badging.
