Exactly......!! But remember which came first.. The idea of the F-Sport parts program began here. @ SEMA 2007
There was no factory backed optional equipement..

The other Key idea is the the "F-Sport Packaged" cars direct from Japan Factory will use in house developed F-Sport parts...
(supplied to Lexus Japan factories from whoever makes it for them, just like the oem parts)

***They will not use or install any of the 3rd party manufactured parts from the US catalogs..

that's fine, but i think the US fsport accessories should NOT have anything on the newer lexus anymore that has the factory fsport package. if they want to support 06-09 fine. but having 2 part choices for the same car, one from japan factory and one from US, that's just silly. it's like competition within itself

I guess we will have to wait and see how Lexus / TRD USA will handle that..... for the New 2013 GS & eventually new IS...

Current examples of where it's already happening....

accessories in Toyota models are almost always regional thing... while factory is... factory.

This is so stupid!

We need to beg for a V8 now, how about i take my $$$$ to BMW, MB, Audi, Infiniti, Cadillac, Hyundai, etc. and get it. Absolute BS.

If this guy is telling the truth, that there is no GS F in development, it will take at least another 2-3 years for it to hit the market. By that time the 4GS will be halfway through its lifecycle and NOBODY will care about it.
