Good eye, TXDriver. The interior is probably similar to the 4GS. The seats are leather, but the console and door panels are Nuluxe, and there is a slight variation in color between the two.

Putting all the nitpicking aside, it's a pretty sexy little car.

Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear said it looks like vacuum cleaner on the front of the car.

I believe the press release for the IS300h at Geneva mentioned an LED strip for the fog light on the F-Sport model that was on display. Not sure if I read that right but from the release, it appears that there are fog lights, maybe available as an option.

Yes that was hilarious from Richard Hammond's impression of new Mini.

Here's that same Nebula Gray IS F SPORT next to the Silver Lining IS:

I'm seriously contemplating buying this exact IS350... local dealer says one there's one coming in on the 17th, highly tempting.

I haven't seen the Rioja Red in person yet but grey with red interior and grey F-sport rims should look amazing.
