I hope to see some photos with the front lip from the F-Sport package; maybe it'd look better so it doesn't look like the grille is bulging out.
The f-sport one looks a LOT better!

Yeah, even though everyone hates the bumper I think the F-Sport front lip kind of gets rid of that front bumper bulge (even though everyone is ripping on the blue F-Sport package as a ISF poser). I don't think I want to buy the whole F-Sport package IS350 if I do get a IS350 later this year, but maybe just the front lip and possibly the wheels.

This happens every year with the changes. It's almost humorous in its predictability.

The latest issue of Motor Trend magazine states AFS is discontinued for 2011? Why would they do that?

No Lexus press release that I've read has stated it was discontinued. Could be an error on MT's behalf or something else is up that hasn't been announced yet.

Yeah I know. Someone was saying that the space that the LEDs take up didn't leave them enough room.

EVERY lexus EXCEPT the IS line will have afs.

Hopefully with the next generation redesign, they will bring it back.
