I hear that Canada has them. Any rumors out there.

You have to wonder though given the success of the 350 F-Sport. Probably more so if it had additional interior color options. If Lexus brought the 450h F-Sport stateside, I'm sure it would sell. The suspension on my RXh with the sport package is comparable to the 350 F-Sport. I like it. Being hybrid is a nice bonus.

Isn't it already like 6 years now before you get any benefit back at the pump from the extra cost?
Don't know so just wondering.

Technically speaking, the H is the quickest RX. It's not a Prius either, so I, for one, don't drive it the same way. Mileage is still decent, though.
They have the F-Sport in Europe. With high gas prices, Lexus mostly sells hybrids there, while other manufacturers are heavy into diesel. So, it makes some sense for them to get the F-Sport, as 350 is not even available in some places.

If there is very little reason economically to get the 450 over the 350 today, then what would be the selling point to get the 450 F-Sport (over the 350)? In order to have any 'fun i'm assuming' you'd have to (or want to) drive it a little harder and lose any benefit of it being a hybrid.

If by benefit you mean mileage, it has improved considerably since I switched to the 450h. Now I could fill up the tank maybe once a month versus once a week. And it's not to say I baby the RXh. My driving style hasn't changed all that much. I do like to have fun I could probably get more if MPG if I wanted. But we know that's not the only reason to go hybrid.

The pursuit of F
To the OP no F-Sport 450h in Canada though if it were available, I'd have bought that without hesitation over my 350 F-Sport. In addition to the benefits kitlz listed, what I appreciate the most of the Lexus hybrid drive (which I've owned two) is the unparalleled NVH - smooth and quiet power delivery. For me this is worth the~15% premium alone as it completes the luxury experience and driving enjoyment.
