The models are the same. The thing that differs is what it comes equipped with as per the Canadian specs. One thing standard regardless of package is the front windshield deicer which the US cars do not have.

4. Luxury Package

I was not happy over the fact that you needed to purchase the Luxury Package in order to receive the HID headlights... Thought it was a bit ridiculous IMO considering the competition.
I believe you miseed #5 and possibly a #6.

#5 is Touring Edition 1. It has HID+LED Daytime lights for AWD.

#6
If you gotten F-Sport pacakge then it would of came with HID+LED daytime lights. Of course it will be RWD, and the RWD will have a better stance besides the better MPG than the AWD.

Ahh yes, forgot about the F-Sport package!

The touring package was only available for the 2012, or else i would have picked that; pretty much the moonroof and leather package but with LED/HID for an additional $750!! :'(

I don't think it includes LED, you need the Luxury package

I believe I recall seeing the Touring Edition package was available for 2011 a while back ago unless I was mistaken. Oh you could of waited for 2012 model or I guess or go RWD and get F-Sport package.

By the way, where did you get yours from?

LED/HID's are not standard in the USA either (except on the IS350/IS F).

The main differences for the 2011-12 ISx50 models between Canada and the USA are that we can get the IS250 with cloth seats and no sunroof, we can only get the IS350 RWD if you get the F-Sport package (lower packages are only available with AWD), and we don't have individual options that can be purchased outside of packages (like HID's). There are some other differences too, but those are the major ones people notice.

Oh weird... the dealer told me that the site does not specify the LED's as a part of the package but he showed me his spec sheet and it does say it comes with the LEDs.

But regardless, they look sweeeeet i definitely need to get myself a pair of those down the road....

Ahh I was considering getting a 2012 but the rates were much less for the remaining 2011 they had in stock...

I got mine from Metro Lexus Toyota in Victoria!
