of course not. i'm just saying that F-sport is more about the appearance and It's not gonna make that car fly thru corners. So no one should really expect it to be a 'sporty and fun' crossover.

Turn into a corner and the Lexus feels composed. The steering is direct, there’s decent grip and body movement is kept well in check. This is partly down to the stiffer suspension of our F Sport model, plus Lexus’ lateral damper unit, which aims to improve stability and sharpen responses. Select Sport mode – there are also EV, Eco and Snow settings – and you get keener throttle response and weightier steering.

Sure, but if Brits like it then......
