i really don't find the f-sport grill and bumper very coherent, and also just too busy. in this picture it kinda looks 'broken'
the non f-sport to me looks much more cohesive, kinda similar to the ES front.
and i can understand why the lfa guage is on the f-sport model only. but hopefully the option availability isn't too crippled as to what you can get on f-sport and non-f-sport as is the case in the u.s. with the 4gs.
anyway, it's an exciting new design. go lexus.

Rear:
18 x 8.5-in wheels with 255/40YR18 summer tires
And so far the data we have shows this what will come on the 2014 IS F-Sport
F Sport's Bridgestone Turanza ER55 summer-performance tires
225/40R-18 99Y in front
&
245/35R-18 103Y in the rear
That is more than likely NOT changing...

I wonder what kind of compromises you'll need to make when picking your new IS this time. To give you an idea of what I mean, here are combinations not allowed in the new GS:
Hybrid & AWD
Hybrid & F Sport suspension
When I was buying my IS in '06, I couldn't get Luxury Package in IS 250 nor ML on 250 without it being a custom order. In that case I ended up getting a used 350 with the above packages, but it still left me frustrated that I couldn't get that combo in California (but could in other states).
