They are selling everyone they make and I hope they don't increase production. It would be nice to have the most unique version of the most popular car they sell.

I don't think Fsport will be obsolete because it's not much different than standard RX, but yea, keeping the production low can maybe can keep it's value but keeping the production low can also because it's not as popular in the overall market.

I agree. The F-Sport has a market probably more so now than ever before. I saw a couple picking up one a few months ago. Not exactly the kind of people I'd expect to get one. I have yet to spot one on the road by me though. They're still rare. The appeal to have something different is one of the reasons I went with the sport package on the 450h.

I think it depends where you live...I don't think they sell every F-Sport that they make. Lexus Canada will tell you when you do the plant tour in Cambridge that every RX that rolls off the line is sold. Dealers at home have a few F-Sports. I was at Lexus of Palm Beach 4 weeks ago, there were 2 in their showroom another 3 or 4 on the lot.

This is a little higher than the figure that my dealership quoted - they estimated about 5% for Ontario, Canada.Given that we are not as wealthy your figure is probably right!! My dealership didn't have any in stock.

Congratulations! I just bought the very same build last week (minus the HUD) and I couldn't be happier with it. Love the color combination.

Lexus does a great job with their 'reds'. That is an awesome color combination, someone in my neighborhood has one that color and I always admire it. Enjoy the ride....

Congratulations naplesam. Great color, and excellent options. Couldn't find Claret with HUD when we were buying. Will be looking for it on the road, as we are in Florida for the winter.
