Where in VA? I still havent seen many at all. Maybe 3-4 in the last couple months.

Granted, I havent made it up to Fairfax/Arlington/etc since getting the car.

Thankfully, I've yet to ever see another MRM on the road.

Default Not In NYC

I have the '14 IS250 F Sport and since January, I've come across 6 and that's probably a stretch. I know of only 3 specific homes that have one. Any other time I've seen a '14 F Sport is on the highways.

I'm from SoCal. I see them all over the place. And those awkward moments when the same Lexus IS250/350 is in front/behind/beside my car at very long stop light with the same color exterior and interior. As much as I want to look at the owner, for some reason I avoid eye contact.

LOL....I do the same thing. Just had one sitting next to me at the light today. Same color combo.

Florida is like Lexus capital. Killing BMW and Infiniti for the last couple of years.

I agree with everyone. Miami has many IS250 especially where I live in west Miami. Too be honest I love my IS350 F sport the way it is exterior wise. I only miss the rain sensing wipers, cooling and memory seats features. I wonder if this can be added to the 2014 cars?

Reporting from SoCal (Los Angeles). 250s are a dime a dozen here but then again, driving a Lexus in LA is like driving a civic in terms of the "impressive" factor. It's hard to compete when every other car in your neighborhood has a price tage of $80k+. But I grew up in Minneapolis so to me, the 3IS is still a beautiful and impressive vehicle.

Here is how I've managed to differentiate somewhat (I have a lease so I can't do much):
1. Went with the 350 F Sport in Nebula Gray. Most of the ones I see here are 250 non-F and White.
2. Debadged the "IS350": I don't need people to know what's under the hood or that I have the bigger engine. Just as long as I know what's under there. I think it looks way better clean and without the letters/numbers.
3. Swapped out the dealer license plate frame for an F-sport one. Haha but seriously 90% of the ones driving around here have "KEYES LEXUS" plate frames.

Miami is definitely home of the IS250 FSport. Have to wait a month for my '15 UW/Rioja because they're nowhere to be found. And the ones en route have already been sold.

anxious for its arrival tho!
