LEather vs Leatherette
Does the F Sport package automatically include the perf leather trimmed seats? I looked around on the Lexus website but didn't find a definitive answer. There's no mention of the perf leather trimmed seats in the F Sport Package listed on the website. I know they are listed in the Luxury package.
There are so many packages available but usually unless you do a custom order, the cars on the lot can have odd combos.
Any thoughts?

On the sticker that was on my car, under the F-Sport options it says "F Sport Nuluxe seats", then below that it says "perforated leather trimmed" and "leather wrapped steering wheel"....so I'm trying to figure out what I have...nuluxe with leather trim???? because the "trim" isn't perforated...I guess I'll give the dealership a call...because I didn't discover this until I got the car home.

You got that right. My deal can’t find an atomic silver F sport anywhere with the options I want so it’s going to be a long wait for me. I ordered 15k in upgrades but I can’t wait to see it. Led headlights and day time running lights, 19” rims, Running boards, door protectors, and mud flaps on the exterior.

The pursuit of F
To avoid any confusion, N. America:
F Sport seats are Nuluxe only at this time for MY 2015.
Leather (perforated) is on the steering wheel and shift ****. Door panels/arm rests, dash above glovebox, console sides/arm rest are not leather.

I totally agree. I wish the US had the Executive trim.
This is one area where I like Honda / Acura's sales approach with trim levels.
I look through inventory. I like the Luxury package but some have Blind spot, some Parking assist, some collision sensors, some LED head lights, and some other things but rarely am I finding all of them together. It would have been better to include them all in the Luxury package or have a safety package with the 3-4 safety options included. I have not seen any in the US with the Lane keeping system.

When we were shopping for our CUV about 2 years ago, we were looking at the X3 and GLK. Both come standard with their brand of vinyl, with leather as an option. The vinyl was not bad at all and would not have been a deal breaker on either one. It's come a long way. Same with the NuLuxe from Lexus which I think is nice.

The only thing that's missing with NuLuxe is the leather smell.

I'm actually surprised to find that NuLuxe seats are the only option on the NX and even if you want an IS350 F Sport, it's the only option as well...in order to get leather seats you have to switch to the 'luxury' package which cancels out the F Sport package, which to me is a deal breaker.
The GS F Sports come standard with leather which is what I have in mine...so when I went in to pick up the NX I didn't even think to ask the question.
