Wow either she is really small or those sport seats are pretty big.

I really hope the dealers don't push the f sport and only order them because I like the non sport better for the grill but mostly for the electroluminescent display I don't want the lfa display.

nice video. i wonder if the fsport spindle grill can be fitted to the non fsport bumper, that would be my best combo.

It's a very appealing car, they did an excellent job overall.

I can see myself getting the IS350 F-Sport over the new GS just for the 8 speed autobox and LFA dials alone.

The key issue is interior space ( can't be too compromised) and how it drives and handles (has to be better than the GS).

i find that walkaround the best portrayal of actual car, not the PR videos shown in between bu actual presenter walking around the car... gives us better "3D" look on the car which helps a lot.

Yes my jaw was to the floor during the walkarounds. Even the F-sport looks attractive in that color. Definitely the most appealing car in the segment for me. Too bad the hybrid isn't offered in NA.

She mentioned about the integrated rear spoiler which looks like an aftermarket Wald spoiler though not as pronounce ................... wondering if that's just for F Sport ?? I think I'd prefer a regular trunk from the non F Sport and simply add a lip rear spoiler afterwards ??

The "integrated spoiler" is part of the rear end design on all models.
