Enough Moaning, Cause Lexus F Sport Sales Are Booming
Some folks think that F Sport cars don't really deserve to be called F. Sales numbers show it's high time to get over it though.

Since these packages do little in terms of performance, it's an interesting study on how people go for cosmetics. Either way, Lexus has found a nice way to gather up more sales and profits.

I can see the logic & apparent success behind the F badge. For the vast majority of people an upgrade in suspension, sway bars and a few dashes of unicorn horn interior is enough for daily driving. Hooking on ramps & exits with a little spirited canyon carving one doesn't really need a lot. Except control. In fact I'll be the first to admit when starting out handling a mere 150hp vehicle in auto X was challenging in itself. I learned a lot. So cheers for Lexus in maintaining course.

Please leave a few cushy rides as that was part of it's original DNA. Not everything has to be sport tuned canyon carving whiplastic jet of a vehicle.

Well, there are two choices - leave the control on "regular", or buy the non F Sport version.

I believe most of the F sports come with a slightly stiffer base suspension. Also the majority of the F Sports have no suspension change when you put it in sport vs regular. I think the only one that does change the suspension is the IS350.

Now are you saying Lexus now has the ability to "dial-a-ride" on the fly? If so we've come a long ways. The MB my wife & I were in and the loaner IS neither made a hint of difference. Perhaps I did the procedure wrong or my expectations were high. I was expecting being able to go from a RX 330 ride to an F sport at a turn if a dial. Didn't happen. In fact nothing happened. Lol. Made several passes over the same bumpy road and we were disappointed.

In purchasing any F sport do they come with the traditional blue springs that are a wee bit stiffer than regular correct?

It's more noticable on turns than bumpy butt meter-wise

To me, the F-sport package isn't worth it without the Sport + function.

LS doesn't have this? Or perhaps the LS F does I think? Reading the following
"By monitoring the road surface, vehicle speed and your own driving style, the F SPORT-tuned, lowered Adaptive Variable Air Suspension automatically adjusts the shock absorbers' damping force for optimal comfort and control, helping you to carve through corners with precision."

The '16 RX F Sport has the variable suspension, as well as non-US NX200t F Sports. So the US F Sports with variable suspension would be the LS, GS, IS350, and RX.

i know the difference between F and F-Sport, but Lexus has downgraded the F-Sport package because in the past it would also have included the upgraded brakes, exhaust, and intake I believe.
