Truthfully, the IS 300h front looks much better, but only because of the fog lamps. I also like the rear of the hybrid more so than the F-sport. But I might be swayed in opinion when the JDM fogs will be fitted onto the IS F-sport, just like it was with the GS F-sport. As of right now, however, based on the pictures above, IS 300h for both front and rear.

Much prefer the non-Sport look. Things are too immature and obnoxious otherwise.

An IS300h F-Sport would be very tempting to me right now.
I feel the same way. I never get a chance to tap the power in my 06 IS350 now that I commute 24 mi each way in Phoenix traffic.

same reason why it didnt bother me that there was no power change. Whenever I plan to test drive a 2014 IS, have no interest in gunning it on a straight. I have the same engine already.

I'm also not upset about the new IS having the same HP. The 350 is way fast enough for me and most times you can't even use all that power in the city, another plus is this engine has already been tested 8 yrs so its perfected at this point. I don't really want to be the tester on the new engine the 2015 model.
