I noticed especially on the video posted above by Joe of the rolling footage of the IS300h & IS300h F-Sport that with the euro IS licence plate on the front, real video of it on the road, makes the front end look alot like the 2nd Gen IS.

The designs are similar naturally...

Here is another video of a 2014 IS350 F-Sport in Black (US spec)


Enjoy,

That's the most liquid looking black paint I've ever seen.

Depending on how the specs really come out in the US, I might want to trade in the CT200h F-Sport (USB) I'm buying tomorrow for the new IS300h in blue. I figure that will still go well with my 250 in USB. I cant wait!

We can assure you the IS300h will not be launching in the US anytime soon...
Might be never or might be a couple of years...

Definitely the show floor lighting adding to the cars appearance...

Check out this IS350 F-Sport in Nebula Gray under similar show floor lighting

Do my eyes deceive me or did I see the steering column (or however it's called, the steering wheel) with a power switch for adjusting on that video of the black F-sport???

If you are referring to the button for the electronic tilt telescoping steering wheel, yes they are being shown on the F sport and in the past this feature was always part of the luxury pkg and the luxury pkg was never available on a F sport. So this is strange to see, in addition to this I have seen F sports with the rear sunshade button too which was also again only available on luxury pkg, never an F sport.
