hehe, No! All the dealers I've asked haven't seen one yet. The next allocation has them coming though. 50 out of 1393 cars will have Sport.

The Luxury Package is more readily available than the Sport. somehow, Lexus Western Region things the Luxury Package is what people prefer...and not the Sport. There are a handful of sport packages that have been sold...but they're one of every 100 cars sold it seems like.

You need to do your homework, cause the dealer ain't going to do it for you

The Lexus site does indeed list all the options available. Instead of trying to build a car, just look at the options list:

Default Skewed results...

You've attracted all those with sport package to this thread by your thread title. They're here checking it out to validate that they have something special. (or just curious) Those without—for the most part—are probably not interested enough to look or vote. A perfect example of how easily one can "fix" surveys and why we should always be suspect of any statistics thrown at us.

In the Canadian models, we get LSD and headlight washers too.

I can't for the life of me figure out why Canadian models would have an LSD rear and US models wouldn't. Anyone have a clue?

Headlamp washers are a stand alone option in the states.
