That automatically means it comes with seat cooling.
This picture of F-sport showing one button for seats, non F-sport with black leather has two buttons.

Me too

At first I was like "NO WAY!", I thought it just looked odd and unbalanced.

Then, once I saw a few press shots, I was like "Hmmm...maybe."

Now, with real world shots, I am like "Hell yeah!" And I am one of the few that even like the separation from the headlights and the LED strip.

At this point, I know a new IS F Sport dropped with some proper shoes is going to be sweeeeeet. Go Lexus!

There's still hope that the cooled seats can be an option in the F-Sport since it is in the European version as previously discussed:

Then again, Lexus USA has always been known to shortchange their sportier models on luxury options so it won't surprise me if the US F-Sport doesn't get nearly as many luxury features as the European F-Sport.

More like a mole on the face. I don't dig it either. Seems to me that the option won't be available for the US version anyway though.

Lexus does not know how to do headlight washers properly.

LOL, you just made my point. They should be flush with body, and not tied to windshield wipers.
