Not to help cool the brakes as the rep said because there is a inlet next to that area to help cool the brakes. Amazing as I order my fog light kit, I feel I should be compensated for something that should be standard on every luxury car.

The only reason was cost cutting, same reason for the lack of folding mirrors and power trunk closer. This cost cutting angered me in my 2010 MB E550, but the electrical gremlins in that car was horrible and made get rid of the car in one year.

Haha, it probably shouldn't be funny, but it is. Yes, I too think Lexus messed up by not offering fog-lights on the F-Sport here in the states. Secondly, I find it all to obvious of cost cutting when they removed the power folding mirror feature for this new model here in the USA. Both of these are features that all brand new luxury cars should have in my opinion. I use my fog-lights and power folding mirrors every day. Oh well, I'm sure Lexus will add them both back to the content list in the next few years.
