Current screen is 7 inches. I suspect 8 inches is a typo, otherwise it would have been listed in the new 2015 features list.
I was going to mention this also but it looks like it was a typo. The spec sheet shows 7"

Surprised Lexus didn't write that "new for 2015" and make in bold - the 2015 IS vehicles with navigation will have:

- Remote key starter available as an add on accessory

- RES+ will be available so you remote start can happen from a cell phone (with paid subscription).

Probably doesn't want to **** off current owners. It's pathetic they aren't doing something about this for the 2014 model year.

Still no memory seats on the F Sport? That's a shame. It was literally the only reason why I picked a BMW over the 2014 IS 350 F Sport. I'll have to check back in 2.5 years when my lease is up.

The 2015 model will save your seat position based on the key fob you are using, so while its not the button implementation the memory seat functionality is there.

I am not trying to be a ****, but I read the press release and could not find something about memory seats based on the key fob. Could you reference where you saw this info?

Shame on Lexus. I'll go for Bmw 435i grand coupe.

Exactly. Buy the luxury package if you want that feature.

And what if you want the F Sport too?

Why should we have to compromise?

I've been lurking on this site for a few months and I've almost reached the point where I'm ready to pull the trigger on a 350 f-sport. I was really hoping that USB would be an option for the 15 MY. I've looked at the press releases and I know it states that UW is specific to the f-sport, but it doesn't necessarily state that Deep Sea Mica is specific to non f-sport models. Any chance that Lexus will offer it across the line?

Not a problem

Link to Product Information

Page 9

Luxury Package (requires Back-up Camera, Navigation, or Mark Levinson)

 Twin projector LED Headlamps (low and high beam)
 Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
 Rain-sensing wipers << also new
Outside rear-view mirror functions (electrochromic, memory, reverse tilt-down)
 Leather trimmed interior with contrast stitching
 Power tilt/telescoping steering wheel
Two position memory - Driver’s seat, mirrors and steering column
 Seat heater/ventilation
 Wood trim << they listened to people on the wood trim too
 Heated steering wheel (AWD only)
So you must buy the non-f-sport model if you want seat memory since it is part of luxury package. While not a new thing including mirror memory makes that a great option.

knock yourself out, 435 gran coupe starts at the loaded price of my IS350 F-Sport/Navi/ML. 435 gran coupe built to match my IS is over 60k. Equivalent 335 is 56k and even a equivalent 328 is still more expensive than the IS350. Some people must really want those memory seats.
