I like from f-sport square grill inserts. Will buy base model and replace them from f-sport for couple hundred $

Does not look that much different from the base model. The same front / rear bumpers, the same wheel gap. The only difference is, there are no fog lights and the grille is different.... It will probably have the F-Sport brakes though

Interesting that http://lexusenthusiast.com got f-sport photos from Lexus South Africa facebook announcement. Since last night those photos were removed from that facebook page.

Yeah, if this is "lowered", that is awful. The "show lowered" version from Pebble Beach looked much better, in terms of stance.

Negative on the "F-Sport Brakes"..

That is an "F-Sport Accessory" add on at port or dealership.. Not a Factory installed option.


Front bumper does not look the same either...

well i don't want to say much until i see more pics first from different angles. last time i did that apparently some people got pretty upset. i wonder how much the car is lowered. the one at launch looks pretty low

I don't like the front corner angle, makes it look like there is a big chunk missing....

Regardless of what you think of the styling, this car has presence - chunky muscular presence. It would be pretty cool to see an Fsport like this in a parking lot or driving down the road. It would look even better with the menacing LED lights from the 450h.
