So the IS 350 F Sport is AWD only? I thought it was available in RWD?

There will be a RWD option. I am worried about pricing though, 1500 more plus Levinson and the dynamic handling package would be around 53? 54? At that price I'd get an m340i or a ct4 v idk man

If there is a IS 350 RWD then it won't be here in Canada. I have the entire spec sheet... I just optioned out an M340i on the BMW website and its $75k fully loaded. IS350 AWD F Sport 3 Package (which is fully loaded) is no where near lol.

base m340i here in America is around 54k, and yeah Canada i guess only has it in awd, but in America absolute positively will be rwd. Ct4 V is around 54k fully loaded, so that one probably is a better comparable with the lexus, though it has almost 100lbs more torque than the lexus, buttt we all know which car will last longer

From the post 2 above, I couldn't agree more. Bosozoku lives on.

The same with BMW Canada and USA they offer different configurations, different options, different color leather choices etc.

LexusUSA has updated their website for the 2021 IS
The build it now is still not available, however they added a bunch of new specs and color interior and exterior sample blocks.
It's still showing up in the future area but I don't remember all this stuff before so they must have just added it.
It clearly says the IS 350 F sport will be available in RWD (8 speed trans) and AWD (6 speed trans)

It's also interesting that they are offering both circuit red and rioja red at the same time.
I'm really happy they are offering the white/black nuluxe for the IS 350 F sport instead of just the black
(however I wish they would allow customers to option real leather for those that want it)
Check it out.

Thanks for the info. The new blue is huge news for the base car. This is the same offering Lexus had for the NX, two sporty blues.
Cloudburst Gray replaces the dull Nebula. Is this the same Cloudburst Toyota had for the 2000's 4Runner? It looks darker.
And if Rioja is available for the four cylinder car, that opens up a lot of possibilities for those who go for the base car. Rioja was a big draw to step up to the F-Sport.
Anyone know what the difference is for the exhaust tips, F-Sport vs. non?

Hey all,
Just thought I'd share this interactive IS configurator concept that I made. You can change colors, lower the car, swap out wheels and even add on a bodykit I designed. You can access the configurator here: 2021 Lexus IS Configurator It may take awhile to load depending on internet speed so please be patient ;-). Also works best as a desktop experience. Below are some of the screen shots of the options. Enjoy!
