Next Generation IS Wishlist....
#68
Has Lexus ever went the forced induction route? I'm no car expert but I cant think of one Lexus that has had a turbo or supercharger from the factory...with the new M3 arriving that may change but I doubt if itll be added to the base IS...but it is a WISHLIST so if you want it, post it!

I agree with most people here.
Redesign center console for more/better placement of cup holders.
Better placement of Aux ports
6MT available in 350 trim and higher
Supercharger option.

Forced induction on the other hand is more questionable....though it's something I'd love to be wrong about, not only has Lexus not used it in USDM vehicles ever, Toyota in general has put a lot of effort into making cars (since the supra especially) as un-moddable as possible performance wise... and factory forced induction is sorta the opposite of that.
I dunno, CAFE might force them that direction I guess, since they can mostly keep it out of boost for the EPA testing... but I don't think it's a direction they'd choose on their own if they had any choice about it.

A bit more power isn't unrealistic (though the new GS reusing the same engine doesn't point that way)
