Default Sports Pkg standard with Modern Luxury?

I have a Modern Pkg with a Sports Pkg. Reading the Sticky Frequently Asked Question under Options+Packages it say the sports Pkg is standard with the Modern Luxury Pkg. Does anyone have the Modern Pkg without the Sports Pkg.

I think I read where 3 percent of Premiums and ML's are Sports Package. Had em each way IMO and others disagree, I have owned em both for 70k miles plus each you gain handling and less bounce and give up nothing. PM me is ya want some good ideas on tires I have run a half dozen on the two rigs

I would think the chrome would be an up grade.

Personally I don't like the chrome so I am glad my car doesn't have the upgrade

Where are you getting this info?

Sport suspension package was a completely separate line item option (two choices - SP-SP or SX-SX) not included with any of the Luxury Package options. Only air suspension was in a "package" and that was the Ultra. I have 2 Modern Luxury LS's and neither has Sport suspension as "standard" with/without chrome wheels. Sport suspension also isn't standard on my Custom Luxury.

See, e.g. http://www.motortrend.com/cars/lexus...pecifications/

Just to clarify, as for Sport Suspension being "standard," the FAQ you mention appears to be wrong. Also, if you have Sport Suspension, there should be a badge on the front fender indicating that specific (and somewhat unique, not standard) option. Warm (above) is correct that relatively few LS's have this option.
