I'm hoping the F-Sport sales trend and great reviews continue so Lexus will continue to develop newer sport models for us enthusiasts (in addition to the upcoming RC and potential LF-LC)!

It's funny, I hardly see any of the 3IS's in NYC and when I do it's almost always a non F and almost always white or black. The only F's I've seen were courtesy cars for the US Open (I think).

It does make my car unique (which I kinda like). Stopped to get gas at the BP on Houston (sort of the middle of the action in Greenwich village for all non-NYC peeps) and got many looks and questions...is that new? what kind of car is that?

It's a lot of fun to have a unique car. I am always getting looks and questions at the gas station. While there are two other 3IS models here at my work, I rarely see any on the road. Makes it fun!

This has pretty much been the same observation for me. Except, that one F-Sport I've seen is mine. Lol. I've yet to see another F-Sport, also even just a 350 at that.

Very different here in Austin. I see quite a few F-sports (in fact I would say more than regular IS). Its a little weird here. For example, Tesla Model S is a common sight. We like unique cars here apparently.

The first batch of very good and sexy ads all featured Fsports. I don't see many 3IS but only one of them was a non F-sport. Interestingly of the maybe 6 3IS F-sport I've seen -- only 1 was a 350.

I've only seen 2 other 3IS around here. I wonder how long before there are more around.
My last car was a G35, at first there weren't many around and now they (G35/G37) are EVERYWHERE.

Dealer tells me F Sports are 27% of IS inventory in the NY Tri-State area.
