It would be silly if it could be proven that these aren't selling and that adding memory seats, etc., would trigger an avalanche of sales. But the fact is that they are selling very well which means Lexus knows it's competition and it's targeted audience and that is good business. A few outliers on forums won't make or break Lexus, BMW, or MB. One could hardly call Club Lexus a groundswell or a movement. Heck, in 6/2013 when I bought my Fsport and everyone was *****ing here -- I suggested they post to the Lexus FB page for a chance at real results -- no one did because one can't remain anonymous when posting on FB.

[QUOTE=JDR76;8381280]I suppose it's personal preference. I have them in both my RX and my IS and would not ever own a car again without them, but understand if it's not a thing for you.


"Ventilated" or Cooled seats are essential here in Arizona. I have not purchased a new F-Sport because it's not offered. This is a deal breaker for me. Lexus get with it!

the RC350 has ventilated seats in F Sport according to the preorder guide, I have the feeling they would extend this to the 2015 IS as well

I don't mind if the navigation screen is this size, but please make it look more luxurious by putting a roof like cover on top to sort of box in the screen like the rest of Lexus' models. To think again though Lexus focus too much on the sportiness and handling of the 2014 IS where they may forgotten some key points in luxury.

Hi all - first post.

I was interested to see any thoughts on additions to 2015 spec as I'm about to order in the UAE and this appears (to me) to be the best Lexus forum for information. The models here are more similar to the US spec - however we already get some of the features listed on this thread.....
- Memory seats
- Ventilated seats
- Fold/Tilt mirrors for reverse etc

I was interested that on the Japanese site it implies that the "Lexus Dynamic Handling System" is on the F Sport. I haven't seen that elsewhere. Maybe it will be offered in the future.

The option I can't get is remote start. :-(

When did the 2014 IS go into production and when did it appear at dealers?

And when is the 2015 RC going into production and when is it arriving at dealers?

May give us an idea as to the 2015 IS'...

Interesting. I was going to have to order what I wanted in an IS350 RWD, and wait 4 months for it.
I might just as well wait til June and get in line for the 2015. Do you know when they will star taking orders for the IS350?
