Congrats! I think I would do the same and skip the FSport model too.
Damn it, another reason to buy, another ISF owner getting one. I've been contemplating for months now and I almost gave in after the test drove, but didn't. I keep telling myself a better model will be coming soon with a little more power and even better fuel economy....

I'm trying not to do too much to this car since it'll be a commuter car 99% of the time. The first mod I did as soon as I got a chance was replacing the halogen headlights with HIDs. If I have time this weekend, I'll swap out the fogs with yellow HIDs. Clear bra some time next week. I'm kinda playing with the idea of getting a set of used RPF1 and F-Sport springs. It's like a disease, I can't leave it stock.
I was in the same boat, however, I don't mind the lack of power since it's a hybrid anyway. My wife loves it, so it all works out. I still have the IS-F and s2k as the fun cars.

You are going down the same path of mods as I did if you look at my build thread. I'm doing coilovers and some lightweight wheels (all in the name of improving MPG of course
)

According to LexusEnthusiast, during an interview with Lexus marketing manager Peter Evans , "Another likely unveil for Paris is a hot hatch variant of the CT200h and Mr Evans revealed its arrival is “a matter of when rather than if – or rather when and what because there are a few alternatives”.
Please let it be a stronger CT, but not at expense on fuel economy. PLEASE!

I've been debating for several weeks whether I want to go with a hybrid or not. Since my wife starts to drive a lot for her work, it doesn't make sense for us to keep the GX even though we loved having the cargo space. But I'm happy with my decision.
We got 2012 Nebula Grey Pearl. F Sport with navigation, Premium Audio Package, and illuminated door sills. Here's a quick pic I took after I got home. I need a bigger garage now.

A few more updates as of last week. I decided to go with Enkei PF01, 17x8 +35 offset.
Hub rings
And the F-Sport springs.
I haven't had a chance to take pics after the install was done. Hopefully, soon.
