I agree the seats are the only keeper. Its too bad that you can get a few of these options with a sport package in the US. I would like these seats in my GS

I want those seats too but will most likely be crazy expensive as an add on if they ever change their mind about offering it in the US.

Default Lower mesh grille option

I've installed the lower grille from http://www.racemeshgrilles.com.

Great quality and fit.

Confirmed on the Lexus Japan website, it is clear that there will be a "version F" Package available for the IS250 & IS350..

We covered this about 3 weeks ago.. Changes for 2010 IS350

Looks to be just the Front Seats, Grill design, Trunk Spoiler, Steering Wheel & Door Sills for the Sedan.


Here are the upgrades it will have in Japan... Notice the color too..


**DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE THIS PACKAGE OR OPTIONS ON US SPEC MODELS**

Great way to empty out the parts bin!!

I think its given Japan and Europe does not want us to have the better options. Until today I still don't understand the reason.

It's actually available on the 250 RWD as well, but auto tranny only.

I've known for a while, but have had to bite my tongue... Joe, I pm'd you shortly after you started posting about the version F.

I can't find a PM from you...

Thanks for the clarification.
I updated my post to reflect the IS250 RWD, as it seems it defaults to manual on the site.

What's weird is that the F SPORT PACKAGE:

is $9,850.00 CAD for the IS250 RWD
&
only $6,100.00 CAD for the IS350 RWD
