I've seen quite a few of them in my area. Definitely not a very rare edition. My neighbor traded his '08 GFM 250 in for a '11 F-sport just a few weeks ago too.

There has to be a way to find out the production numbers for 2011. I don't think they are very rare though. My local dealer has 3 right now on their lot. A red, silver and white.

Honda did make less than 200 of my S2000 CR in Apex Blue Pearl though!

As far as I know there is no limit on the F-Sport sedan, but the Lexus USA-spec Port-installed F-Sport IS-C was a limited run.

I've seen at least 10 F-sports here in so cal and when I was buying mine, every dealership I contacted (around 5-6) had at least 1 F-sport in stock. So if you just do some simple additions, the members here alone can account for at least 30 owned or sighted F-sports. There's just no way that only 500 were made for 2011.

From factory, there are an unknown amount. As far as a complete upgrade to the F-Sport version, this is easily possible for any and every car by most Lexus dealerships.

I wouldnt be surprised if he wasnt bsing bc really why would he when he would wanna make the sale. Before I picked up my IS250 in sept I was looking for a f sport and there was none within a 500 mile radius of me. The only Fsport I have ever seen around here is a ISC350 fsport sitting at a dealership 2 hours away from me and that thing did not sit there long

I just picked up a white 12 IS350 Fsport and my dealership has 3 in their inventories. I dont think it's that rare except for USB color.

Default F sports not that rare...

The IS250 F Sport is not all that rare, plenty at the local dealerships. The IS350 Fsport is a bit more rare and the ISC350 Special Edition F Sport was the rare one.

The regular F Sport package is not that expensive of an option as it is primarly an appearance package. I have a co-worker with one (SGM IS250 F-Sport)... and I have the F Sport performance parts that he doesn't... I like his steering wheel, but not enough to buy one... much less expensive in the package...

If I were to do it again, I might have started with the F Sport package and added the F-Sport performance options, but I wanted the Lux package options as well.

As previous members mentioned... don't think the IS250/350 is rare by any means, don't let the badging make you believe it's special or limited. I was told by both dealerships I visited when I was shopping for mine that they made less of the USB F-sports. Other than that, it's basically having a sports package on the IS. I love it tho which is why I got one in white

I do agree or at least think that the ISC350 F-sport is rare. I've seen only one in the past few months.

USB is such a nice color, we had a USB Fsport CT200h here at the dealer and it looked pretty good even though I'm not a fan of the CT's looks, but here's my gem
