Lexus confirms launch of F-sport trim level (UK)
Lexus confirms M-sport rival
29 March, 2010
Lexus has confirmed the launch of its F-sport trim level set to rival BMW’s M-sport cars and Audi’s S-line spec level.
The additional specification grade joins as part of a host of upgrades for the entire IS range.
F-sport cars now include a boot-lid spoiler, 18-inch alloys, sports seats, aluminium pedals and a leather interior.
The entire range also sees improvements in fuel economy and emissions, while the SE trim level gains 17-inch alloys.
Prices for the revised range start at £24,350.Lexus has confirmed the launch of its F-sport trim level set to rival BMW’s M-sport cars and Audi’s S-line spec level.

A GS-F would be badass. An LS-F would be badass too (which would take a step up from the LS460L Sport)..........though I don't know if Lexus would dethrone the LS600 hybrid in favor of the LS-F as the flagship variant of the LS

But yeah, a GS-F and LS-F would be nice, and as blacksc400 pointed out an LS-F can coexist with the LS600hL just fine (just like how a GS-F can coexist with the GSh...)
Ok, now back on topic. More F-Sport packages across the board (including non-F cars like the CT/HS/RX) would be awesome and it would make Lexus more top tier and premium.

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!
