I feel the same way. If Lexus offered all the executive package stuff with the F-Sport package, I would've totally paid for it. 2016 F-Sports can get rain sensing wipers in Canada now though.

I only wish they included memory seats for the F-Sport packages!

how hard would that have been?! especially when it comes on the cars factory in other parts of the world!

In Europe you only get (old 250) no 350, no display for tmps, LED headlights on each variant (F Sport 600€ Extra), standart LED fogs , no heated steering wheel -but all other stuff if you willing to pay. Funny- GS Models dont have the auto door lock function in Germany but auto close of the trunk (standart).In Swiss auto close is not orderable but heated steering standart also door lock

On top of that my payments went down $20/month. With sedan sales lagging due to NX and RX sales, now is a great time to upgrade.

In 2018 MY, I think they will change the front fascia to adopt multi-LED bulb lighting that will be similar to the RC, NX or RX.
