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

^^Amazing color. Nice bumper swap. Love the lip and side skirts. Good choice of wheels. U killing it, bro.
Paint/powdercoat your calipers gold with lexus decal--would set off your whole scheme, imo.

I understand why to buy Luxury and than change bumper since I noticed there are missing some things in the F-Sport package in US, like vented seats etc. My Hybrid F-Sport has got almost everything like Luxury package except 3-zone A/C, rear control console for audio and passenger's seat without memory. I can live with it 
But when I firstly saw the specs for US I was wondering why there isn't option to buy F-Sport with vented seats. Thanks God in EU I can buy (and I already did) F-Sport with these features 
On the other side you can't buy IS here with reasonable engine, just poor 250 or horrible hybrid 300h. Without 350 there is no reason to buy IS for me
And honestly from 3rd GS300 was better to jump into 4rd GS450h

I've never came across an F Sport without ventilated seats. Mine has them. I'm pretty sure they're standard.
I don't understand why the f sport has a power rear sun shade but doesn't have the manual ones on the rear doors?.. Weird.

Yep, ventilated seats are standard on the F Sport GS. You're thinking of the F Sport IS.

I got the Lux because for the price I feel like it was a better deal. the swivel front headlights, sport Plus, rear audio/climate. I wasn't a huge fan of the Alum. trim either t do like the front better and rims but those are only cosmetic and I can change them if I wanted too. Also another big deciding factor for me was at the time (13 models) they didn't offer the F sport in Deep Sea Mica (blue)
On Long Island I see more F sports then Premium and Luxury. I see more premiums then Luxury.

Okay, so let me clarify, since SW13GS is responding to my post.
If I'm on the road driving, there is not one single way I can distinguish between Luxury and Premium. Both wheels look horrible, so that is not something that would give me any indication. Both are without rear spoilers and both are without the F-Sport emblem. Hence my statement that it's either F-Sport or not, in my world. Obviously if I walk up next to a GS in the parking lot and am able to see inside, I can figure it out, but driving 55mph down the road makes that tough to do.
mimoz07 - your car looks fantastic. I like that color a lot. Did you order the bumper pre-painted, or did you have a body shop color match it to the car?

Heck,1000' ft in front on you,the GS looks like a Sonata.
