Lexususa needs to get thier **** together with those SEMA builds. Pure crap though the body kit on the blue one is not bad. Just the overall package is not good presented.

Could've been worse. They could've had a build in Grecian Water.

Yes, it makes logical sense, but it just feels like more watering down of "F"

You’re all wrong for the Grecian water hate!!!

And I like the delineation of the F Sport brands. It makes sense.

So in the future we’ll have IS’s with just the F Sport design, the what I imagine to essentially be the IS350 DHP as the F Sport Handling, then IS500 for F Sport Performance, and sounds like maybe we will get a return of the F in the form of a TTV6 or TTV8, or some sort of mild hybrid powertrain?

That’s just a guess I don’t honestly keep up with the Lexus news and new power trains.

I only follow the IS500 lmao

To be honest, another thing that annoys me with most reviews that I saw is how "complicated" Lexus has made the naming convention! Like serious, They have no issue with an IS350 F Sport, but add the word "performance" to the IS500 F Sport and that is SOOooooo complicated?!? And we wonder why they find the track pad so confusing?! (lol)

Yet they don't find the BMW line up confusing?! Now they have 4 Series coupe (2 Door), i4 series Gran Coupe (4 doors) and an i4 M50 xDrive - There used to be a time that pair numbers were 2 door, odd numbers were the sedan yet they have added all sorts of numbers, letters and doors.....but adding Performance after the IS500 F Sport is just so counter intuitive and illogical because associating a 500 (for 5.0L) and Performance (V8) just makes no sense (end of sarcasm)
