Default What F-Sport Gives Me!

Ok, so I was looking through the features and it seems that the AWD model doesnt get the 14.0 inch aluminum plated disc and as what lexus says 4-piston brake caliper is this correct, and if so why did Lexus not give it to all the F-Sports.

Toyota only has to make three configurations (RWD, RWD F Sport, AWD) rather than four (RWD, RWD F Sport, AWD, AWD F Sport). This decreases the production costs. The F Sport package is primary an appearance package on the AWD GS 350.

i can only speculate and as to why Lexus blessed some (so to speak) and not the others.

Where did you get that info?? My GS awd f sport has firmer adaptable suspension, thicker anti roll bars, and bigger bushings like the GS fsprt rwd. So its NOT just appearance.

well he said 'primary'.

that sucks about the brakes though, even though i will never use them to it's full advantage, they sure do look cool

Thats exactly what I'm saying, does anybody have any pics of the F-Sport RWD with this option.
