I am a Luxury owner and right there with other people who own them !
Love the car yep I get it about the rims, not the most high speed looking but far from the worst I have ever seen.
The package makes no sense as there isn't much extra. All you add is those horrid rims, rear seat heaters/AC controls sun shades, softer seats all for higher price of the F sport which gives you a ton of a lot more features for sports sedan.
When dealers did have them in the lot they had always been sitting over a month because there was no demand.
I am not saying it's a bad package but it's just undesirable.
I have to disagree with your assessment. Outside the styling queues, the luxury package pretty much contains everything the F-Sport package does plus more. Most importantly the Sport+ mode. I believe the only significant performance difference is a more aggressive steering in the F-Sport. Otherwise you get all the luxury features (18 ways seats, memory passenger seats, adaptive front lighting, wood steering, rear controls, window shades, fog lights and more). As for the rims, I like the luxury package rims but in no way drives me choosing a car. I do like the front grill of the F-Sport but no where near enough to give up the luxury package.
There was a thread on this topic in the spring. End result, a much more civil conclusion. Not much difference in the performance of the car and came down to personal choice. Like I value luxury feel while others preferred the slightly added sportiness of the F-Sport.
The main reason people pass on the luxury model is because of the exterior aesthetics. Plain and simple the luxury has unattractive rims that are too small and when you spend 60k on a car you want it to look like it. Other than that the luxury is awesome.
I bought my luxury GS with the premium package wheels. Best of both world's.
Great sense of humor. That was supposed to be a joke.....right?
Sure. A joke. Yeah thats the ticket

I tried, they wouldn't swap them for me. I had ridden them pretty hard though, I had to ask them to go fill it up with gas LOL

So here is the 2015 luxury model that is at the local dealership. It has the f sport rims in a different finish, however on the build sheet it list 18 inch rims as part of the luxury package. So still not sure how this one got the good rims, maybe an option or dealer swap out.
Weird.
The Lexus site does show the same 18" wheels we have for '15.
In my area zip code using the Lexus site for a Build your own',I don't see any 19" wheel option for the luxury pkg even available.
