Trying to decide betw. 2015/16 LS FSport

HID +wider beam +serviceable / replaceable bulbs -slower start up
LED +smaller beam +instant on -fixed color temp -need to replace the whole unit
The appearance of 2 or 3 projectors in the housing is a personal preference and subjective. On the LEDs the third lens is not a real projection, just a dummy lens.

Its just not my thing. They're too garish for me, I don't like the black wheels or the black handles and mirrors, and the red/black interior seems completely out of place on the LS. IMHO its an understated and elegant car, and the crafted line is neither.
I can see the appeal on the IS or GS I suppose, but not the LS or ES.

I like the crafted line myself. Get it IMO!
Oh yeah the luggage is awesome, too, lol! Love Tumi bags.
Frankly, I regret not waiting for an F-Sport or the most expensive LS I could get my hands on at the time, but nothing was around me and I couldn't wait.
Get it! Rare! Nice!

I have a 2015 LS 460 crafted line f sport as my demo right now and i love it more than the GSF, sadly I will be giving it up soon! Good news it will become a certified pre owned car. Thinking about buying it for myself! The crafted line is a very special car,I wanted the red interior! It has black and red interior which is amazing!!! many people didnt want to pay the money for it. I might pull the trigger because really no one else near me will have a car like it! I might not get it for myself, possibly moving to a new condo with only a one car garrage -_- happy wife happy life right?? LOL
What do you guys think of the crafted line???
I will post some pics of my car in a few...

The only issue (for me at least) was the WHITE ext! I don't do white cars. From what I was told by the salesman is that the crafted line only comes in white. Duh! How dumb is this Lexus?
If not, I would have paid MSRP for it

Nah they're just limited in numbers is all. From what I heard maybe one F-Sport is sold for every 30 regular LSs?

F-Sports are like Black American Express cards. You need to qualify just to look at one and then you are also required to good looking and have a sense of humor. After all that you are approved to purchase one from a committee of no less than 12 that meets twice a year.

Actually it makes a lot of sense. In my opinion the F-Sport was brought in to compete against / attract buyers of the BMW M Series and AMG Mercedes. While not truly a sports car it's in the right direction. And while the Ms and AMGs are the better variants not everyone wants to pay the premium for them so you will see the mass market embrace the standard versions. Same with the LS, the demographics for the LS model will overwhelmingly chose the non sport variant. You also need to keep in mind while being sportier it's definitely not as luxurious. Real aluminum replaces options like the Shimamoku wood that take 38 days to make. The rear seats are spartan lacking window shades and center console controls so there is definitely a trade off. I for one like the Brembo brakes but hate the dust it creates so there's another trade off for sure. My 2 cents of course.

The F-sport is a overpriced badged up 460 and Lexus needs to up its game in order to make the F-sport a true sports car. Not to insult but the Dodge Charger R/T sedan will probably out perform the F-sport at half the cost. Personally I would go with a automaker that's specialty is full size sports cars like MB, BMW, Audi, Porsche Panamera, etc.

I never chose my F-Sport thinking I'd be getting a sports car. I did so because I wanted the forged wheels, Brembo brakes and air suspension. I knew exactly what I was getting and gladly paid the premium.
