Badge on the trunk looks tacky.

3) No memory seat.
4) No power steering

That doesn't look like a u.s. Edition. It still has xenon lights.

1. It's an entry level car, expect it to be small.
2. Sadly, no excuse for this.
3. Sadly, no excuse for this.
4. Power steering is only on RWD, sadly.

Correct, this video was taken from a dealership located in Canada. I only showed this video so people can see the new remote puck and the matte black finish inside the car.

Also, even though this is from Canada, I must remind that 2015 models can now have ventilated/heated seats and heated steering wheel on the F-Sport models in the U.S.

This angers me. I guess it's nice they make it available, but cooled seats would have been a huge plus for me on this car.

And by power steering, I think you guys mean power tilt/telescope.

Cooled seats are ok but the heated steering wheel is definitely something I wish I had.

Look at the video above 2015 IS250 at 1:32. Even the IS350 AWD does not have it.

Technically, according to Lexus Japan, the colour of the new centre console finish is dark grey metallic rather than black matte finish. It should be more apparent when seeing the 2015 IS in person.

There is something which is not seen in the video too -- the silver ornament trims (probably referring to the ones besides the centre console and the one on each of the doors) should have a more shiny treatment. I have yet to see one to find out what exactly it means.

I am surprised Lexus Canada still reserves the full LED headlamp for the top package (Executive package) of regular IS350 AWD. I thought they would put the LED headlamp in the middle package for F-Sport this year with a slight increase in price due to its great demand and popularity in 2014.
