There are 3 F-sport around my office. They are everywhere, it's pretty much typical of entry level luxury. 3 series are even worse.

I can confirm that there aren't that many in Chicago.

I'm probably the only RWD IS350 F Sport within 500 miles (ok maybe not that far).

I wouldn't assume they are all 250's. There is plenty of money down in SoFlo, sadly a lot of it from the illegal drug trade.

On a happier note it's good that Lexus is finally catching on with the younger buyer. Perhaps they will finally take the crown away from B-M-Trouble-U.

Guilty. I own one and in Miami. That just tells me how much people love this car. This is like when the BMW E46 first came out. It was a dime a dozen.

Very few here in Philly, even out in the wealthy burbs. Surprising because BMW and Audi are a dime a dozen, as well as many other Lexus models. I see the RX everywhere!!

In Singapore, less than 20 are sold.

so to see one, its like some kindred spirit moment when you see another driver with one.
