that would put the 250, the 250 f-sport (+50hp you've proposed), the 350, the 350 f-sport (+50hp you've proposed), and the isf much too close together. i mean, lexus could do it, but the monetary return might fall short for the company.

in an ideal world. we would all like to add "power add-on" to cart.

something like:
power add-on 1 = 30bhp
power add-on 2 = 55bhp
power add-on 3 = 80bhp

hang on. in an ideal world. i'd like to buy my car like in GT6.
weight reduction - check
power chip stage 3 - check
carbon hood - check
triple clutch gearbox - check
lowered ride - check
low boost turbo -check
semi - racing exhaust - check


Anyone of you playing GT6?

The upgrades in the F sport alone did not convince me to go for the badge.
then again my car will be a daily driver.
unless you are tracking your car then go for it.

love the red seats the grill too.

but my 250 is enough to have fun and spirited drives on my way to work.

If I wanted to track and drive I would have kept my 5.0

The 350 is another story F sport will be the way to go. IMO

I enjoy the options on my non sport 250.

It boils down to this personalization for me . no one wants a race car for daily drive. we want a car that has personality to our taste.
it should handle accelerate and do things a certain way.
most of us will end up doing mods, not for performance alone. Lexus are difficult to power up without big $$$
wish it was as easy as flashing a 5.0. But is not, we can get intake exhaust etc but are the gains significant enough??
you can never have enough power. I love kicking my250 to 100mph on my way to work always late. your Fsport or 350 might get there a bit faster (maybe not) but I will be having my butt cooled at 100 MPH under 100 degrees weather

anyway that's good enough for me. is al a matter of taste

now where is the wheels thread for 14 IS

- More sport oriented seats (and more comfortable)

That's not counting the cosmetic changes such as badges, lfa-like dash, rioja interior, interior trim change and grill.

What else ya got?
Make that "dustier" brake pads. You can keep them. Nothing else on your list is compelling, IMO.

It's been over 2 yrs since this post. I think he's probably got it resolved by now.
