That article is a bit late as the F-Sport has been available for at least 3 months or so in the UK. I saw my first one in the showroom when I took my IS in for a service in January.
It's pretty disappointing - bigger wheels and sports seats and that's about your lot. No increase in performance - you get the choice of 2.5 litre petrol or 2.2 litre diesel in standard tune plus no suspension or handling mods. All in all just a cosmetic exercise - for a rather eye-watering £29,365.
Come on Lexus - get your finger out!

Have seen a black one at my dealers show room. The only things I like on this "version" is the alcantara IS-F front seats and the IS-F trunk spoiler. The "F" grill was a big disappointment. It looks and feels cheap (compares to the regular one or the real IS-F grill. It wobbles a bit when you push it lightly with your hand. And the blue F badges on the fender looks really odd. The wheels are the regular ISP 18" wheel. Nothing special with them. There are none f-performance parts on this car and not even the GFX kit. 
Btw is the LS Sport available in the UK?
