It should be noted, however, that the power steering wheel is available in the 2014 F Sport with the VGRS option, though it would be great to see that standard, regardless of VGRS.
They should group all of the items together for $3k.

May even boost sales!

I'd be in.

It was the omission of some of these items that kept me away from the F Sport.

Sounds exciting..!!!

Guess the basic fog lamps get updated to LED to match the other 2014 Lexus models ..

Hoping F Sport Pkg gets fogs added, but I don't think they will..

Also, no news on adding Ultrasonic Blue Mica paint back into the F Sport

If Lexus does not add Memory Seat, that's totally a big joke.

I don't believe they could, the openings on the F sport are designed for brake ventilation.

Makes me not feel so bad for waiting for the 2015 now. I would have felt horrible if they had added USB and I didn't waited.

+1. Cannot believe that wasn't added into the changes for 2015. I thought memory seats would have been a given.

So Lexus still expect people to pay nearly $50K for a car that does not include something basic like memory seats, which cars 1/2 the cost of it have standard!

If anything, why not give the buyer the OPTION to add memory seats? Not harm, no foul there but Lexus obviously don't care about it.

Heck, I personally would have taken memory seats over ventilation seats (and this is coming from someone who lives in the blistering Texas heat)!

You wish. It was already planned before the IS even hit the market. This is all part of the marketing to keep the product fresh. Take it all away first.. then add it back in with minimal cost.
