IS has Triple turn signal. I think most owners don't know this but lightly touching turn signal will blink 3 times and turn off by itself. You can even change it to 7 times but must be done at dealer.
You don't need HUD. TFT LCD can show more stuff than BMW HUD and not as distracting.
I do wish parking sensors were available on F-Sport.
One item IS has that BMW doesn't and I find this a lot more valuable. Rear cross traffic alert is very cool. very accurate and can even warn for pedestrians, Lexus menu said it doesn't but I've had occasion it goes off with people walking by.

does the IS have surround view as standard/option or not available on IS at all?
Cant believe lexus doesnt even include rain sense wipers on fsport.
any anyone have the specs for the IS350 Fsport brakes?

Ok good point about HUD. I just want the front and back sensors the most....

7 is a little too much IMHO, mine are set to 5 and that seems to work well. I think you underestimate how long it takes the blinkers to blink 7 times.

Pole Position
Will be interesting if the GS350 RWD F-Sport front 4-piston calipers can bolt-on to the IS front brakes
Could be a fast and relatively cheap upgrade path.

For those who already own the 3IS F Sport models, could you please check one thing about the back of your front seats?
I was sitting in an F Sport IS in the showroom today. I found that when I touched the back of the front Nuluxe F Sport seats, there seems not to have sufficient foaming inside and I can literally push in and found there is some hollowness inside. I am referring to the area below the shoulder area, at the back of the front Nuluxe seats in an F Sport.
I hope it was just an isolated case. Will drop by the showroom and take a look again.
