Default 2014 Lexus IS F Sport - OFFICIAL TRAILER

I find myself looking at this video few times a day while I wait for supply of F Sport to catch up to demand and wait for dealers to be more willing to discount this car. Hopefully Lexus will provide a nice holiday surprise and add more options to F Sport in US as well! Yeah I know, FAT CHANCE!

No doubt this is fully loaded Euro IS300h F Sport even has those headlamp spray nipples and fogs on the front. As good as the car looks from externally I think the interior design and style is what does it for me especially with that TFT instrument cluster! Very nice indeed!

What the hell!? An F-Sport with fog lamps, memory driver's seat, power tilt steering wheel and likely automatically dipping side view mirrors!? Don't tell me it has rain sensing windsheild wipers too...

NOT HAPPY.

The IS300H has everything with features, but driving it is like driving corolla.

European models get everything. States once again get the shaft

I'm going to hold out for 2015 specs to see if any adjustments to U.S. models/options.

You obviously haven't tested it. Driving it is like a GS450h but more nimble and a little less power.

Yup, European owners can have their cake and eat it too. I hope the upcoming RC model doesn't go the same path by forcing the US consumer to choose between having luxury OR performance.

Amigos, the feeling is mutual, I'd trade in memory seats and tilting mirrors or fog lights for the opportunity to get a 3.5l V6 in a heartbeat
