Ok folks, this thread is about the 2021 IS and not BMW's. Thanks.

Given those leases, they're going to have a hard time clearing out the outgoing models.

In my area I searched and all the 2020 Fsports are gone. I had to settle for a 2021 350 Fsport. Caught a deal at $515/mo with only first month due at signing. Taxes and fees included.

Seems like a good deal, especially on a new refreshed model. When I leased my 2016 IS350 F-Sport AWD my deal was $525/mo (3yeas/12k miles per year) with truly zero down, not even the first month payment was required.

I was using the car builder on Lexus's website and I'm a little frustrated that the dynamic handling package requires the black interior. Why would Lexus do this?

Yeah that's lame . No reason whatsoever to tie the interior color to the suspension

Depending on the exterior color, the choices should be Circuit Red or Black. From the 2021 IS Brochure:

I didn’t realize the IS came with two different red interiors, I thought they just switched from rioja red to circuit red. I really like my old rioja red interior. I usually like a bright red too but for some reason in pictures I’m not sure I like circuit red, it’s a little to bright for me.

Neither did I. Happy Lexus offers the color (even though I would rather have a beige color or maybe blue)

I was able to configure the DHP package with a red interior, perhaps your zip code does not have any DHP cars with the red interior 'yet'.

It's a shame the tan color isn't available on the IS 350 F Sport either. I am starting to really like tan interiors, and that color for the IS is included.

A “luxury” car without choices 🤔
