i was at the dealer being nosy and saw a 2014 IS 250... wasn't interested and turned around to walk away and low and behold, there was a 2014 IS350 FSport in NG/BLK. my sales guy who's also a good friend went inside and got the keys, threw them to me and said take her for a spin. the gauge cluster is a very nice option, you can change the color of the speedo needle from red, white to blue, you can view the nav on the far left side of the gauge cluster, cool features. the seats are 100% more comfortable and hug friendly than any other, they are nicely bolstered without suffocating you. the space is somewhat tight, but slightly more room than the previous gen. the plastic looks a little cheap, especially around the nav screen. the drive was "DAMN"... nice. handling is very much improved, IMO the handling in the 250 was better, maybe because it was a slower car. anyway, anyone looking to buy the 2014 IS350 F Sport... if you can get past the plastic (which IMO shouldn't be a deal breaker) then go for it. steering is tight on both vehicles and the suspension has been improved, major improvement. Lexus of Rockville Centre has 2 on the lot, a 250 and a 350 F Sport, don't know if they're getting anymore in but sales have started although they can't leave the dealerships until 7/1/2013. oh, i couldn't find the HL washers thingamajiggys... was also surprised to see a staggered set up on the 350, 225/40/18 F, 255/35/18 R.
