What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Karl is correct, that is an F Sport model, which adds a few $ to the price and ususally gets you racier seats, badges, a bit of handling improvements, and I guess a few bragging rights

You can get a lot of Lexus models in F Sport configuration, both mine are

The RC 350 F Sport config at mid $50's is a pretty nice car, IMO. Not a whole lot of vehicles with nice lines like that . . . plus it's a Lexus so it's (normally) going to take good care of you.
 
I browsing amazon and noticed a lot of microfiber towels. I saw a bunch of 70/30 from China.

The Rag Company sells a lot. They claim their towels are FINEST QUALITY 100% South Korean Super Plush AA-Grade Split Microfiber.

The China ones mostly say "split microfiber" but never heard the term AA-Grade. Is there an A or AAA grade?


Update: I did a better google search and the grade refers to the yarn quality. A/AA/AAA is highest and often used in clothes. The B, C, etc. are a less quality fiber (recycled., etc). Grade A are better are the premium fiber. Absorbency is also determined by number of twists in addition to quality of yarn. Korean companies have opened plants in China and grade AA yarn is available in China.

Yeah, I'm sure it's no mistake they toss around the "F" a little too liberally - not as badly as BMW has diluted the meaning of "M" but still needless confusing.

I think BMW did a good job of keeping the true Ms unique. The X30 m40 (or m50 now) is a beast but there's no comparison to the M model. That holds true across their lines.

I'm thinking the increase in the use of the M branding at all was a direct response to Genesis competition that popped up.

You say that as someone that knows the marque and their line; I expect most auto enthusiasts and of course BMW fans know the distinction. Many people, however, have no idea . . . any more than do the folks that see my Bronco and talk about how their brother/boss/neighbor just got one and blahblah when you KNOW they are talking about a Bronco Sport (good job, Ford!). I'm not confused by BMW's branding but you'll never convince me the intent of the expanded M-nification is to blur the lines for their more casual buyers (I heard William got a new BMW? Oh, it's one of those M ones, I hear those are good!). I mean, really, why even *choose* to use the letter "M" in a naming convention for something that isn't an actual "M"? The thing is, they don't even need to do that as the vehicles are good by themselves without the naming shenanigans.
