Nothing new compared with the 2015 IS350 F-Sport. I am happy with my purchase. The only thing I miss is the Ultrasonic Blue!

Yep... that's pretty much it. And I think the only interior color selection with USB is black.

I'll stick with my Atomic Silver with Rioja Red

Yeah. USB with red will be weird. If USB was available this year, I will go with USB + black. However, I am still happy with my ultra white + red

I believe USB is a $595 option for fsport models.

While not a color combo I would choose, you can get USB with red in the NX200t F Sport, and it looks better than I would have expected.

A small correction would be that the IS350 AWD still comes with the 6 speed, not the 8 speed.

I'm new to all of this so can you tell me, is it possible to up the brake size on the is250 as an aftermarket upgrade or on any car for that matter? or is that not an upgradable part besides different same sized brakes?
