Default 2016 Features & Changes you'd like to see

What would you like to see new or improved for the 2016 GS refresh?

Solid led design LS style
Engine power
Color options interior exterior
Brighter multicolor ambient lighting
Panorama roof
7 band eq with adjustable sub settings
Inch wider, lower stance - may have to wait for full redesign.

Apologies if this was started already.��

Would be nice - Solid led design LS style
For me, car has more than enough power - Engine power
If done right - Color options interior exterior
Agree - Brighter multicolor ambient lighting
Don't use the moon roof much - Panorama roof
Excellent base radio, but always like better - 7 band eq with adjustable sub settings
Don't think that appeals to wider demographic - better left for custom job. - Inch wider, lower stance - may have to wait for full redesign.

Agreed with all the above!

More options for factory spoilers and appearance modifications would be nice.

New engine options. Maybe a turbo 4cyl, V6 diesel, V6 and of course the V8.

Remote start that's actually worth the money.

Less confusing package options, at least on the website.

Soft closing doors.

I have to add to my previous post.

A sunglasses compartment

Somewhere to put your phone, the current model isn't very Note friendly

Instead of having soft leather on the door handle have something a little more durable. Mine is already creasing with 990 miles on the odo.

I actually love my 2013. No complaints. Maybe more speed.

Buttons on the dash marked 1-5 (or 6) so that with one touch of a button you can set the radio station to one you like. And tone controls that you don't have to risk an accident to adjust while driving. Remember all the years that you could do those things before technology made everyday tasks such a pain in the azz?
And give me back the engine/transmission responsiveness that my 2010 GS had that is missing in our 2014.

^^This ^^

Went on a BMW test drive and loved the short cut buttons. And you aren't limited to radio stations. Short cut buttons can be programmed for XM stations, Bluetooth, or almost anything else.

I had a 550 with that feature. All cars need to copy this. They have eight buttons. You can program them to call a certain phone number, a destination, play stored music, bring up tire pressures (if coded) etc.

Other items on my wish list:

* 8-speed transmission available on AWD models
* Larger brakes on the AWD F-Sport model. Just give them the same spec as the RWD F-Sport.
* More power (a bump to 330 would be nice, 350 would be great)
* Multi-function instrument display similar to the F-Sport IS and RC
* Folding rear seat
