Ah, you're right. http://pressroom.lexus.com/releases/...sedan+2014.htm

Intuitively I wouldn't have thought you would get it on all 350's... Actually that's kinda nice.

 

To me, the feature that makes the F-sport worth it is the AVS. The car is so different in Sport+ mode in the 350...so much more responsive and tight. I find the suspension is a little soft in normal mode but good for the commute.

 

I have a non-f-sport 250 with the luxury package and 18" wheels came standard on my car.

 

some of the first few features listed above are available on non-f-sport models, particularly non-f-sport models equipped with the luxury package.

 

Like everyone said, the reason to go for F-Sport is mainly for the front grille, the LFA gauge, and the additional options that are only exclusive for F-Sport.
It's worth the extra cost.
EDIT: Oh, and the Rioja Red seats!!

 

yeah i know but i was pointing out why i personally chose the f sport. even though you can get some of the options, you can't get it with others. just icing on the cake to get them.

i want a car as a package where performance is prioritized out of the box. I've "done my time" in the modding community modding BMWs. tired of jerking cars off, so it made sense for me to get f sport.

 

The digital gauge cluster in the f-sport is pretty cool...that was the selling point for me.

 

I can't stand the fsport's grill OR the base's five spoke wheels. Which is worse, or easier to swap out?

 

I despised the grill at first too...it grew on me though. It still looks ungainly from some angles, but that's part of the charm imo...it's polarizing. Love it or hate it, it's not boring.

Wheels are easier to change out by far.The grill is not able to simply be swapped, as the entire front bumper is different.

 

Wheels are obviously the easiest..

 

Here in my country the F-Sport is a hefty $10,000 more than the base IS350. Obviously, those who went for the F-Sport were more performance-ortiented folks.

 

F-Sport is awesome but not $10k awesome. I'd rock a regular IS350 if I could have gotten it new for $10k less.

 

I almost got a CPO '14 base IS350 with only 5,000kms on it but someone beat me to it by a few hours. I ended up paying the equivalent of $6,xxx more for a '13 F-Sport with 18,000kms.

The F-Sport wheels alone are priced at $6,xxx IF you buy it separately from the dealer.

 

That AVS, LFA cluster, and the seats. Win in my book.

 

Is it true? Amazing, I wouldn't even want them for free, much prefer the look of my 5-spoke aluminium.
