Default F-Sport AWD

So other than the staggered wheels, and I believe no 14" 2 piece rotors, what else is the AWD missing from the RWD version. It almost seems that the luxury and F will handle and drive the same in AWD versions, making the F a buy based more on looks than a performance upgrade.
Can the F front grill inserts fit in the luxury? I like them better than the horizontal grill.

Any better Allseason tires than the El 400? Nothing on tire rack except 1 Conti. Very strange size.

That's what I read too, I just ordered one with ML but if it's the same as the luxury model I would have just bought that one and not have to wait 4 months.

It is a very rare tire size. I do not like the EL400-02 much on the highway but they are not too bad overall. However I spoke to tirerack representative and since I know the tire sizes and dimension well, size 245/40/19 with Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires will do the trick as my replacement soon. The speedo error is less than 1% and it will fit perfectly on the GS with no rubbing or other issues.
