Yeah I forgot IS is throttle by wire but didn't know there would be any delay.

The ES is also throttle by wire, and in fact, I think most cars are. There's just an odd delay in the time between pressing the gas pedal and something happening in my IS, which I haven't experienced in any other car I've driven except for... you guessed it: other IS models. I drove a 2019 ES 350 loaner from the dealership, and it had no delay.

F Sport owners prior to 2018 were out of luck, even as a paid option.
Wait you can finally get memory seats on an F-Sport IS??? I didn't know they finally made it an option.

Just peeking through the online ads, I don't see any current 19s out there with it, but it's definitely available on the 18s, like this listing:

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...2109/overview/

According to Lexus:

• Comfort Package
• Memory driver and passenger seats
• Memory heated outer mirrors
• Power Steering column
• Rain-sensing windshield wipers
• Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Two position memory - Driver’s seat, outer mirrors and steering column
