Default Canadian IS F-Sport 2012 pics

I was at Open Road Lexus Richmond having my car worked on and decided to take a pic to see the differences in the Canadian version of the car. As usual, the people there have the cat eyes looking at my USB lol!!

Enjoy!

You will see some of the differences between the US and Canadian version. There is some other feature differences however I am listing you can see visually. The pics taken is of an IS350.

- Memory seats
- F-Sport perforated leather seats
- Rain sensor
- Power telescopic/tilt steering wheel
- Front windshield deicer (on all Canadian Lexus vehicles)
- F-Sport package is standard for IS350 RWD
- No SOS

- Also notice the NAV unit for 2012, has colored temp buttons!! Also included 2 misc pics!

Nebula grey looks good. But I don't think it goes well with the f sport wheels. I love the new IS-F wheels tho.

Thanks for sharing the info and photos, Sango. Looks like the Canadian F-Sport has more luxury features included. Jealous!

And they had a IS350 F-sport in stock!? Strange how directly south of the border in Western Washington it's impossible to find a IS350 F-Sport but north of the border in Richmond they have a IS350 F-Sport.

Yeah I like the Canadian stuff for the most part, but I'd rather have the non-perforated seats, personally.

Still want that black headliner...

Yep, it costs more but it has more features. Bascially an F-Sport with a subset of luxury package included.

They only have one IS350 F-Sport in Richmond Lexus - I actually saw it almost a month ago but did not have my camera with me. Typically for F-Sport for IS250/350 it will need to be special ordered in because get very few of them. Even if some had arrived, it was most likely already sold to a customer who special ordered it earlier.

Odd thing, is that, they also have another IS-F there too on the showroom floor - I only took a picture of one of them.

I've seen the LFA before. It used to be downstairs then they moved it upstairs. It belongs to the owner of the Open Road Auto Group, driven on occasion.

My 2012 IS350C CA version non F-sport with lux package has everything the canada version has except the windshield de-icer and i have the SOS also the colored temp buttons. My seats look different but that is most likley the F-sport seat.

I agree with you. I wish it also had the Power telescopic/tilt steering wheel as well. Oh well I am still happy with my F-Sport.

The Canadian version of the IS-F has a moonroof as well.

The Canadian version might have more stuff included but you do pay for it. The MSRP in Canada for the AWD is $45K and for the RWD it's $51K (yup, the AWD is cheaper for some reason) whereas in the states they are $42K and $40K respectively. That's an $11K difference for the RWD version which is what most people get when they want the F-Sport package.

(FYI, USD and CAD are roughly par these days)
