It's pretty hard to find a 350 F-Sport right now. Most F-Sports are 250. I called around and went to several dealership before getting mine. I saw 2 350 (one black and the other gunmetal) and about 15 250s. It was a hard to find a USB.

There was a USB at the first place I went to but I didn't pull the trigger because it was my first day shopping for a car and it sold within the week. Every single dealership in southern california didn't have a USB (and most didn't even know it came in USB)
I have a while before I am ready, maybe they will step up production and/or the new will wear off between now and then. Also, I have a 250 now and would take another 250, but it would be nice to find a 350.

The sales representative I had didn't mention anything about 500 but said it was hard to find a 2011 IS350 F-Sport for me.

Same salesman was bragging about the options and said the 2011's have AFS. Good grief.
I know what you mean. When I first was asking about the 2011 F-Sport package, one of the sales representatives I talked to thought I wanted a regular IS decked out with F-Sport aftermarket parts and told me it would be over $52,000 and a special order. He didn't realize there was something called the 2011 IS F-Sport package! I explained it to him though and then he knew what I was talking about.

I haven't seen all but two others besides my IS350 F- Sport around NOVA (virginia) area. And they were 5 months apart.

I live in SC and attend USCUpstate and have seen a student with a tungsten pearl IS350 F sport. I have a star fire pearl regular IS250, but haven't seen any on the streets. My dealer has the Red Mica F sport that i really wanted when i purchased my car but that was to much for me.

The F-Sport is not common around here but sometimes I see one. When I do see the 2011 ISes on the street, most of them are non F-Sport and are usually the IS250 AWD.

In the past like thirteen months on the roads, I have seen two SGM, four white, and one blue F-Sport. This doesn't include mine or the ones I saw sitting at the dealerships in person and it is possible the SGM and white F-Sports I saw were the same people repeatedly. I think these are all IS250s as well.

Here in houston out of all of the ISx50's that I see about 95% of them are is250. 4% are 350's and 1% are F Sport

I've got a 70 mile trip every day on the freeway so I see alot of cars and am always on the look out for another IS'er.

Only seen 1 other F sport besides mine and well... it looked exactly like mine same color and everything =P
