The mystery gets cleared up. The Canadian pricing and packages details for 2016 IS are finally up.

Make sure you click MY 2016.

Sadly, Lexus Canada still thinks LED headlights are a novelty (which is already not the newer Lexus premium 3-lenses headlights) and it is only available in the top package (F-Sport series 3) of the highest end model --- i.e., IS350AWD. So whenever you see a twin-lenses LED headlights on a F-Sport IS on the Canadian soil in the year of 2015/16, it is the fully loaded IS350 AWD. Also interestingly F-Sport Series 3 has different contents for IS300 AWD. Very confusing marketing..

Not to mention Memory seats and auto reverse tilt-down features are still omitted in F-Sport IS.

On the other hand, IS300 AWD can have executive package and the AVS is available in F-Sport trim (F-Sport Series 2) which is a plus when compared to IS250 AWD.

Hopefully the US market has a better luck. Lack of memory seats and auto reverse-tilt down are one of the major gripes for the current F-Sport 3IS in North America... it is more important than the rain-sensing wipers if one has to be dropped in order to get another feature..
