GS350 comes in only Luxury or F-sport. There is no base version.
AFS is only found in Luxury spec
HUD and BSM(Blind Spot Monitor) is standard in both trims
3-zone climate,S-Flow,nanoe system,Rear centre armrest controls in Luxury spec only
Manual rear window sunshade only in Lux spec
Power rear sunshade standard on both trims
Fully powered trunk lid, Auto retractable wing mirrors in both trims
Mark Levinson is standard in both Lux and F-sport
DRS(rear steer),VGRS and LDH is standard and found only in the F-sport
F-sport gets the 2 piece rotors but only the 18 inch F-sport rims.

Before you feel bad for yourselves, digest this fact first :
a GS350 Lux/F-sport costs about 205,000 USD in Singapore. Blame the government efforts to rein in the car population in land scarce Singapore-the additional taxes and registration fees drive up the car prices 3.5X !!!

For that price, I'd expect everything and the kitchen sink thrown in.....

$205K, that is all? j/k but I'm sure others cost even more (E class, A6/A7, 5 series, etc) in Singapore so what Lexus offer should be consider a good deal!

point well taken. it takes a little of the sting off. i would still like to have standard BSM,HUD and (ML i could care less) exchange the standard 18 on the f-sport for 19.

18"s are probably due to the city roads full of bumps.

12 inch screen is standard on all GS350s but the GS250 base model and GS250 F-sport gets the 8 inch screen.

Furthermore, due to the cramped car parks here,we get all-round proximity sensors(8 of them) as well as Lexus Parking Assist with rear view camera for all trims.

To Hoovey2411, I'm pretty sure you don't miss the crazy high additional registration fees and COEs just to own a car in Singapore.
