The color reminds me of the blue LF-LC concept.

Everyone is saying they love the color, but am I understanding correctly that this particular blue is not actually going to be available?

Ultra Blue/Ultrasonic Blue will be available. The colors are not exact but they are similar in shade.

Styled exhaust tips have long been one of the most sporting features of a sport package or sport sedan. Nil here. Shame shame. Hybrid or not, a sport packaged car needs tips.

  • Published on Mar 8, 2013
    Paul Van der Burgh, Director of Lexus Europe, welcomes us to the new Lexus Stand and introduces the new IS 300h and IS 300h F SPORT models.

    Go to our website: http://www.lexus.eu
    Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lexuseurope
    Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/lexuseurope

    Introducing Full Hybrid technology to the IS range for the first time, the new IS 300h F SPORT is powered by our very latest Lexus Hybrid Drive. This delivers 223 DIN hp of power, yet emits less than 100g/km of CO2, for a uniquely refined driving experience. You'll sense this behind the wheel, as you interact with the car using paddle shifts, innovative electrostatic air conditioning controls, or the F SPORT's stunning instruments that were inspired by the iconic LFA supercar.

Enjoy,

~ Joe Z

Since the leather seat is an option the base probably has half leather or cloth sport seats...

If I got it right the you wont be able to have sunroof on F-sport in EU. Its only available as option on the highest speced non F-sport model...

video above has it... Euro has different equipment for different markets... for instance UK is usually very limiting.
