What's luxury and sport pkgs difference?
I was looking for IS with luxury package and dealer told that only two are available in north California and both have not desired interior color. I noticed that sport pakage has similar options, so what's exact difference? Is sport pakage more popular?
And rims, gfx lip little stuff, luxury package got the auto tilt steering wheel thing and im sure it's more comfortable and I think you get tinted windows and some other stuff hehe, don't know much about luxary pac. I got a ML/NAV/X-PAC 
on top of my head:
luxury has memory seat, rear sunshade, auto-tilt steering wheel, ML, rain-sensing wipers, illuminated scuff plate
sport has sports suspension, memory seat?, ML
can;t remember much..

I think ML is separate and sport also has the illuminated scuff plate

one bit of advise, IF you plan on modding your car with suspension *springs/coils/air* just get the Luxury package cuz you can always add the pedals later... im speaking from experience... i shoulda got the lux pac... *sigh*

Lux has rear sunshade and (except on AWD) wood trim, Sport does not. Sport has sport tuned suspension, aluminum scuff plates (not illuminated like Lux) and aluminum sport pedals. Otherwise, same deal.
Yup...and if you prefer the metal trim to the wood like I do the Sport is a WAY better deal (based on 08 pricing anyway).... $500 less than the Lux/18 package and you gain the sport suspension and sport pedals.... your only losses are the sunshade I'd never use and the illuminated plates (which I got free anyway but they're cheap/easy enough to add yourself)

The big benefit on the Sport Package is the Sport-tuned suspension. I love the firm and responsive ride it provides.
The aluminum sport pedals look so damn awesome. I have the Sport Package. The only thing I wish it had was the wood trim center console. i don't care for the grey/silver on the center console.
