I have a 2010 IS 220d with multimedia and my Iphone 4 pairs up and works well however every now and again the phone disconnects from the car mid conversation then reconnects after about 5 seconds.

Does anyone else experience this ?

Cheers

BEHOLD !!!!!

So do you pay extra for the badge? I remember someone I know doing a comparison of Ford Granada from GL to Ghia and adding all the options on the GL to make it a Ghia. You paid £38 for each Ghia badge :)

Nah it’s just a special offer they are doing you basically get an F-sport for the price of an SE-I but I guess they feel its necessary to brand you with this god awful badge lol

So if anyone has ordered a new F-Sport what you will recieve is the 20 year celebration edition, which is a normal F-Sport other than it has a very very very HUGE ugly silver badge on the back which says "20 Year Celebration"

Lexus will remove it upon request but thought i would give others a heads up about it.

Specification

The IS F-Sport will be positioned between the existing SE-I and SE-L and will benefit from the following unique features

IS-F Mesh Grille

IS-F Boot Spoiler

Unique F-Sport 18 Alloy Wheels

IS-F Style Sports Seats (Alcantara Centres & Leather Bolsters)

IS-F Gear Lever

Sports Suspension

IS-F Steering Wheel

Aluminium Sports Pedals

So have we come to the conclusion that other than the styling the only differences between the SE-L (2010) and F-Sport(2010) equipment wise are

Seats Alcantara Vs Leather

Illuminated door scuffs

ventelated seats

sun shade

trunk through and rear arm rest

other than that as far as i can see the F-Sport has everything else.

Lexus have done a good job with the looks of the F-Sport to produce an appealing package - but I do wish they had thought of another name for it. The terms "Sport" and "IS220D" just don't fit together any better than "Gourmet" and "Pot-Noodle" and adding the "F" doesn't help

yeah i agree it is a bit like painting racing stripes on your lawn mower...but hey the wheels look good :-D

Thanks for the responses guys.

You are right the F-Sport does not have the de-icer but i think you will find the 2010 SE-L does not either, the one i borrowed only had 2 buttons

Hi all

Have just ordered a 220d F-Sport with multimedia for Sept 1st (first Lexus...very excited :-)

My question is.....i borrowed a demo car from the garage before i bought this which was an SE-L and i just want to make sure i have the difference between the 2 correct.

As far as i can see the only differences in equipment are

1. Alcantara on F-Sport against leather in SE-L

2. no illuminated door scuffs on F-Sport

3. no rear sun shade

4. F-Sport styling

other than those few things are the cars identical ?

im just starting to get paranoid that im going to loose something import between the models lol

Cheers in advance
