Appearance is a matter of taste. The F Sport doesn't appeal to me personally. I prefer the standard bumper, and I like wood vs metal trim.

I agree.
I'm more into the luxury features in the pkg (AFS,Semi Aniline leather,wood wheel,rear side shades,3 zone climate control,rear audio controls,18 way seat etc) vs the F-Sport pkg.
Also 18" tires for a bit smoother ride and tire/rim protection against pot holes.
Not a big fan of the wheel design,though.

I like the look of the wood a lot more. And you can always change the wheels yourself.

Wow, I didn't even notice the wood vs metal trim. I noticed the sport pedals and wheels. I will have to look at the trim comparison.

No problem. I like the Cabernet for the F Sport, I like the Flaxen with the wood of the luxury package but don't care for it with the metal trim.

Agreed. If the F Sport came with Cabernet and the dark wood I would have chosen that. And it would go nicely together. Who knows? Maybe 2015?
