Question for AWD...
Does the AWD IS350 F-Sports get the power tilt steering wheel? Or is this limited only for the RWD?

The only way to get it on an AWD is to go non F Sport with the Luxury Package. As theoryguy3 said, it is not available with the F Sport package with AWD.

Wow I didn't even notice missing. Shouldn't a $45k plus car have power tilt steering wheel?!?

Exactly the problem! It seems like Lexus is really aiming for the sales to go to RWD cars.. I hope things change for the 2015 model.

It should be noted that it is in the Luxury package for Non-F-Sport models and only the F-Sports models with VGRS (350 RWD only).

Do ANY of the BMW 3 series offer a power tilt/telescoping wheel? I don't think they do...

If there is only one primary driver, it's unneeded cost and weight.

Funny, they don't even stock RWD cars in my area. I had to special order and wait.

Depends on your area I guess. If your area gets a lot of snow then they'll mostly sell AWD. Just like here in Chicago. They only have 1 RWD vehicle available -_-

This was the one thing that pushed us into an IS350 AWD Luxury over an F-Sport. The non-powered wheel doesn't tilt up enough to clear my fat legs to get out of the car without worrying about scuffing the wheel like I have on my Mustang.
