I'd rather get a black F Sport golf polo shirt than the key gloves. They're hard to find. Saw a Lexus manager wearing one in the OC.

Just saying.

My 2013 had lots of rattles and creeks. It just seems like Lexus made the car more refined. I like the 8-speed right now and not sure what people are complaining about. Maybe they tweaked it for 2015?

Hey does the rear badge say F-sport now as they stated.

RWD or AWD? Curious what did you drive before a Lexus?

Beautiful color.

Yes, it has the new thinner, longer F-sport badge on the back left corner.

This is a RWD. Last car was 2013 GS350 F-sport RWD nebula grey with flaxen interior. Before that was 2010 Audi A4 2.0t Quattro. Before that was 2007 Audi Q7 3.6 Quattro.

Picked up my 15 Nebula Grey yesterday I was thinking of purchasing F sport gloves for the key while i jumped on eBay searching for one I was thinking shouldn't the dealer give one for free then I opened the glovebox it was in there

Good thing you checked the glove box first. Maybe Lexus only includes the key gloves for cars with the accessory package (cargo net, rear bumper appliqué, wheel locks, illuminated sills)?

Is that little metal tag on the left-hand key FOB ring a key number?

Yes. It was on the key when the dealer gave it to me. It was the same for when I had the 2013.

Interesting. I didn't think the physical key that is part of the key FOB had a number...like the old style keys did. I did not get that little tag or the number. I'm not sure what good the number would do me if I even had it.
