Default Inspiration series

Does anyone know if 2022 inspiration series comes standard with Torsen lsd and Yamaha dampers or are they add ons
do y’all think an inspiration without lsd and dampers would be worth it. I’m 73 and don’t hot rod much anymore but I do enjoy some spirited driving every once in a while on some twisty back roads
thanks everyone

^^^^Where did you get that information I can not find evidence to substantiate that statement. As far as the worth. I have the LSD on my Coupe, and yes, for me, that was a requirement. As far as age, I have wcarr8888 by another ten tears

Thanks for replies I also cannot find any listings or information that says the Torsen and Yamaha are part of 2022 inspiration package
I think the extra handling with lsd and yamaha would outweigh special badging and coloring which are only extras I can see for the inspiration series. 2021 inspiration package does list lsd and Yamaha as part of package
there are some inspiration packages coming but I don’t think any have reached dealers to see sticker

Scanlon Lexus of Ft Myers (Florida) has a convertible inspiration series. Not sure if that's helpful.

^^^^It's very helpful. I located the dealer and got the VIN. Went to the Lexus Owners Site, entered the VIN, and got the attached. Doesn't look like an Inspiration Series.

Thanks for all your replies. No where can I find anything about the difference between the performance dampers and yahama dampers. I would think that limited slip differential would be a highly desirable option. Has anyone experienced the differences
I really do like the black grill and black accents on inspiration series but again I would think lsd would make for better handling
thanks again
