The differences between a 2010 IS 350 to a 2013 IS 350 F-Sport is major, I could list them all but it would take a while. Most of the differences are seen by eye.
Now, the difference between a 2011 to a 2013 is the Lexus Enform App Suite Navigation System.
*Despite the revised HID headlights with LED running lights, relocation of traction control button, etc.

The 2013 has really nice wheels in comparison to the 2010 one.

Yeah. 2006-2013 is the 2IS. 2014 is the new, 3IS. Hoovey is speaking of the Navigation System Version.

The difference between my 09 250 and 2012 250 other than the styling, chassis etc is that I've notice the transmission works smoother. The engine brake in ETC PWR mode is not as agressive as in my 09. Also the CO2 is lower than on the 2012. Don't know if this applies to 250 as well?

If I were you, I'd grab the 350RWD and do a front end conversion :P
