Why is the F-Sport more popular than the Luxury?

I agree that the wood looks better! I wish someone would come out with a carbon kit to I can pull out all of the alum especially to get rid of the minor glare.
Oddly enough I can't find a way to build a Luxury version of the car. I remember being able to build an Ultra Luxury car back at the beginning of the year but it's no longer possible. I wonder if Lexus is diminishing the production of the Ultra Luxury package? Unless there is a difference between the Luxury and Ultra Luxury.
I tried using a Nashville zip code to build the car, and a CA sip code as well without finding a luxury option. I do remember finding that I could get a Luxury/Ultra Luxury build for the same price as an F Sport, and learned to distinguish the difference in which car is which based solely on the MSRP. I thought it was interesting that the MSRP is basically a serial number that tells you everything that is on the car (I think).

I originally wanted the Luxury Package but the dealership I went to didn't have any for the '14. I was told that they don't sell a lot of the Lux Package and they are just available as special order. I was actually willing to just get a used '13 Lux Package but I wasn't gonna get a good deal like the ones they offer for brand new '14s. So I settled for a '14 F Sport which is starting to really grow on me. I still wish I have the wood steering wheel and trim and the rear AC and radio control from the Lux Package. Maybe someday I'll find somebody who would be willing to swap trims with me lol.

I wanted the Starfire Pearl with Cabernet interior which is only available on F Sport trim that being the number one reason. I also like the F Sport styling better. I have seen more Non-F sports than F sports however the ones I do see are usually white(not sure about interior) but maybe the color combo could be a reason

I think that the Premium is probably the best selling since it is the cheapest.
Then probably the Luxury and then F-sport in last.
Every dealer I looked at had many Premiums on the lot to look at but very little f-sport or luxury.
At the time that I ordered, my dealer had 1 f-sport, 1 luxury RWD, and a couple premium models.
I live in Knoxville, TN so it is a small dealership which mainly sells ES and RX most likely.
The only model I liked was the Luxury GS350 RWD so this is what I ordered.

The F sport is the slowest selling model. The reason so many here are F sports has to do with the sort of consumer who would seek out CL being more apt to go F sport. I have only seen maybe 2or 3 FSports on the road ever here.

I couldn't even begin to tell the difference between the luxury and premium versions. To me, it's either F-Sport or not.
I likely see 60% F-sport.

My wife wanted the luxury package over the F-sports. Don't like the aluminum on the F-sports. Lexus should built more luxury model. We waited 3 to 4 months for a Starfire luxury to come but no luck. My wife don't want to settle for the F-sports because it doesn't have the wood and power trunk. End up getting BMW 535 Diesel. Very happy so far, 40 MPG. I know it may not be as reliable as GS, but it's only a lease.
