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).

Anyway, the 3IS has really found an audience in South Florida. Lexus of Kendall and Pembroke Pines must be hustling to keep up with demand!
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.
