I live in AZ and my dealer told me it was not possible to get the 2015 IS 350 in anything but the f sport. I have no interest in the f sport and would prefer to not have it. They said it could be ordered, but now I am nervous I will have to order a 2016 since its so late in the year. Does anyone know if 350 non-f sports are out there?

The F sport is Amazing for long road trips! I drive a lot for work...the seats and ride is very comfortable! I wasn't going to purchase the F Sport but I am so glad I did! Good Luck and you can't go wrong with either!

Happy 4th of July,

Thank you all for the comments.

Since my 2016 is coming soon, I'm excited and anticipated at the same time.
I'm hoping to see some improvements over IS350 but seems like won't get any upgrades over engine... BUT who knows~? Haven't made any announcements for US!

I'm planning to purchase after release of my2016. But my concern is that I'm not sure whether I should go for IS 350 or 200t/250... I live in LA and seems like 250 is just okay drive.. But after test driving 350.. OMG...

Would anyone like to share their experiences? any comments would be thankful!

Happy 4th July!!

Half the time in LA, you are stuck in miserable traffic poking around. The other half, you could be blazing around 90 because all the cars are going at that speed. Haha. It sucks to be slow in LA though since that burst of speed really helps in merging into lanes and avoiding the crazies. I'd so go 350 in so-cal...you are able to use the power here.

Noeh

The Fsport package is a total rip off. There's no way some cosmetic tweaks and suspension tune would cost Lexus $3k. I would pick luxury package any day.

But that motorized LCD

I have a 2014 IS350 RWD non-F. I did have to order it, though. The dealer stocked only AWD cars.

There's nothing wrong with ordering a 2016, if they let you...

Silly. Inferior. Unwanted.

IMO, of course.

And the seats!
And the VGRS...

The only thing in the f-sport that makes the package worth it is the Sport+ mode for me. That mode is so good

gregerst

yup sport+ mode is good and the way it lets the throaty engine note into the cabin when you get on it.. add to that better front end styling, awesome seats, slick LCD, LED headlights, nicer wheels.. what's not to like.

I opted for the 3IS AWD Luxury package after driving both. The real leather seats don't compare to the fsport's. I driven both on long trips and its much more comfortable. Plus the nuluxe leather has the tendency to form a crease over time (where your butt goes) The memory seats are awesome especially when you go to shut off the car. The seat slides back and the steering wheel tilts up for easy exit, reverse for entry.
One other thing i want to recommend is get the AWD which kept the same 6 speed transmission from 2IS. The aggressive gearing and the final ratio makes the car much quicker 0-60mph and 1/4 mile than the F-sport... haha i know this doesn't make sense. 8 speed gearing is good for the fuel economy and top end speed. Both models are great in my opinion, F sport has the aggressive look and tracks better with VGRS. Luxury is comfort with a mild look and a hell of a stop-and-go (AWD)

I would wait. Maybe it will be the same as GS with 310 horse and 280torque. I know thats not much but still an improvement.
