Does anyone know if the IS350 F-Sport can come with:
-Ventilated Seats
-Dynamic Radar Cruise Control feature? I didn't see it listed anywhere that the 3rd Gen IS comes with this feature in the Luxury Technology Package.

Also, can you get the Technology Package for the IS350 F-Sport?

Ventilated Seats are not available for any F-Sport model in the US.
Dynamic Cruise is available as a stand alone option.
Technology Package is not available.
Blind Spot Monitor is available as a stand alone option.
Rear Sunshade is available as a stand alone.
Park Distance Control states available but it does not go through when placing an order.

Apparently if you want a sporty... uhm... sport sedan from lexus - ie, the F-Sport, you should not care about safety technology and comfort as they are not offered. Either get a safe version or sporty version. Even if you have the money to spend...

This is lexus product management at work right now...

Thanks!

Awww, that sucks. I already have a sporty fully loaded & modded 370z for track, I like to have the luxuary features that my 370z lacked which I hoped to get in this F-Sport IS350. Either way, it doesn't stop me from buying one.

I will for sure go for dynamic cruise & possibly the rear shades.
Distance Parking / Intuitive Parallel park would be great, I would totally want this feature if it's available. So that Distance/Inutitive parking feature wouldn't go thru in the States when you put in the order? I have a Prius too and that has the Intuitive feature. Come on Lexus. I really would hope this car will have something techie which stands out aside from looks.

The Park Distance would not go through and my dealer tried multiple times on different dates until the modification period ended for my order.

The fact that leather, ventilation, and memory are not even an option on the F-Sport is reason enough for me not to buy a 3IS. You can have cake, you just can't eat it

Wait WHAT? you can't have seat memory either on the F-Sport? How about the IS350 F-Sport? I know in the past IS250 X-package didn't allow seat memory but the IS350 X-Packaged allowed it.

No ventilation seat either for F-Sport? wth? That's the one thing that stands out on the Lexus. Almost every car I can think of have the seat heater option.

So for the F-Sport, if we want to customize it, what can we actually have? I see Mark Levison is a capability as that's what they have in every show room I've been to.

Correct there is no memory seat option on ANY F-Sport 250/350.

And yes despite the perforations on the NuLuxe3 there is no ventilation - part of the problem is the manufacturing process, but that problem could easily be avoided if Leather was an actual option which it is not.

Yeah most 350 F-Sport you will see with ML and BSM

The more I find out, the more it is apparent I need to move to the GS350 F-Sport so I can have my cake and eat it too. Looks like I can get a GS-350 F-Sport with all the options I want for about $55,650. That only about $7500 more then the IS-350 F-Sport that doesn't come with all the options I would want. Plus that dang ugly center stack they put in the new IS.... :-/

Don't forget better materials in the GS. Granted the 3IS 350 has 8-Auto, 60/40 seats, and an even better navi. Can't wait till all that hits the GS.

My 2011 barely has 11k miles on it. Not a scratch or nick in the paint anywhere. Still looks brand spanking new. I'm waiting to see what the 2014 GS has. The GS really does look much nicer inside.
