And finally, regarding the seats - I never understood the point of the F-sport suede seats. Isn't leather better??
Suede holds the body in place better than leather, which allows you to slide around more. They anticipate F-Sport owners to be aggressive in the corners
Well not based on what I see...I'm looking at the dealer's page of new inventory (Magnussen Lexus in Fremont, CA) and they have a 2012 350 base model that's $45.8k. The same model configured on Lexus.com is $40k. Why?
Also what the heck is interior color "FB2?"
Magnussen Lexus's page listing is not accurate, don't rely on it. Notice the color for that vehicle saids "Ultrasonic Blue". I also checked the VIN to verify that it is that color; based on that, it has F-Sport Package because USB is an optional exclusive color option only available for vehicles with F-Sport Package. The interior is FB22, in which the page has it incorrectly listed as "Fb2".
In terms to answer your question, this is not a base model car. It's loaded with F-Sport Package, Navigation, and some others (which I am not sure for the 350 but for 250 I know) which come with the region.
