No ES F Sport Hybrid?
Just curious if there have been any rumors of an F Sport Hybrid making it the US? From searching it seems like they might have them in other countries? I like the looks of the f sport body more than the non f sport but would love a hybrid with my long drive.

I can't speak for the ES, but they DO make an NX F Sport Hybrid in Australia. Although I like the appearance of the standard ES (or I wouldn't have purchased) I agree with you regarding the improvements the F Sport brings to the front of the car. However the F-Sport seats would not work from me. I would love to see it as an "appearance package" that was only applied to the outside of the car. I mean really, why would you need the Sport+ or adaptive dampers on a hybrid? Let's pipe that extra noise into the cabin on a hybrid while toodling around on battery ...

Why not Australia? I didn't notice any suggestion that this was a test market anyway, and we already know they make at least one other hybrid model in F-Sport trim for the Australia market. There is no reason to assume they haven't done their homework and merely understand there is a stronger market for a sporty appearance on a fuel efficient vehicle in that region. While I also wish they offered it in the North America market, I want to assume they have some business case for their strategy.

I'd definitely lease an ES300H F Sport for when the ES refresh comes out and the lease is up on mine.. I bet they'll release an F Sport to the US market.
I'd like 18" wheels though. not 19. 19 would cut down on fuel economy as well as make for a choppy ride.
