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

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)
