% of F Sport Models to non F sport models?

Does any one know the answer to this question? It seems so much harder (at least in my area) to see another f sport model, however I see regular 4th gen RXs everywhere I look!

I'm sure someone would have exact stats for this, but it would certainly vary by areas of the country. Plus the fact that it's a relatively expensive option..

My guess is the seat comfort becomes a deal breaker for many and that limits the sales volume and hence the units produced.

Dealership in my area shows around a 10% FSport inventory. Not sure if that reflects the sold %

I don't believe you can tell much from those figures. It could be that the dealer did not keep up with the demand for f-sports and that's why the inventory is low. The accurate sales ratio would come from corporate.
