Default Lexus US - Build your "14 IS on the website

The US Lexus Website has finally added a Build Section for the '14 IS. Although it is not complete, it is obviously indicative of what is to be offered.

Exterior colors are pretty limited on the F-Sport vs. the non F-Sport, just like the GS.

It's official, I'm not getting one. Thanks Lexus for limiting our options here in the US. I'll just keep the one I have.

You sure you don't want the "wireless earplugs" option so you can be totally oblivious to everything that is going on around you while driving?

VGRS and Power Tilt/Telescopic Steering Column. What are the pros/cons on the VGRS for the F-Sport.

19-in 15-Spoke Chrome-Finished Allow Wheels..... "15" spoke? Any links to pictures of what a 15 spoke 19" wheel by Lexus looks like?

Waiting to see what options will be available in Hawaii since our dealership is not part of Lexus USA.

For those of you who think Ultrasonic Blue is not available in the US and is a deal killer, think again. All you need to do is talk to the dealer to place a special order from Japan. Dealerships will bend over backwards for you to sell the car. Nothing's impossible.

Canada doesn't get you USB F-Sport with ventilated seats and telescopic steering wheel so Euro is the ONLY way to roll

It became the deal killer when it was added on top of fake leather only for the F sport. I hope you are right because that's what it will take to get me in one. I have the option of waiting until 2015 so that is for sure happening at this point.

You sure you don't want the "wireless earplugs" option so you can be totally oblivious to everything that is going on around you while driving?
Guess I missed that, lol but I yeah I think I can live without it.

whats the wireless plugs anyway? Is it bluetooth for phone or what? If so, its only one ear... and even if both ears, they probably let outside sound in...
