a couple of things I'm hoping for down the road

my wishlist:
IS200t (definitely coming): expected in 2016. for 2018, facelift with a 8 speeder?
IS180t: a slightly detuned version of the IS200t with more focus on Economy
IS300t: a twin-charged version of the 2.0 engine of the IS200t. Pushes 333 bhp.
IS-F: the brawny V8 engine in the RCF.
Options, wish we could option cars like porsches:

carbon fibre trim: check
18--> 21 inch wheels: check
sports exhaust: check

It definitely depends on what you're looking for in the car. I'd love to see a tunable turbo-4. I wouldn't opt for it over the 3.5L V6, though if the turbo-4 has half the potential of the 3SGTE... it'd be a tough choice.

All I really want is for my navigation/media system to be less glitchy. Very happy with all other aspects of the car.

There are 2 things I really want. It's really painful waiting a whole year to get my new IS but I think it'll be worth it in the end if these features show up next year:
1. 200t - seems very likely
2. Apple CarPlay - I think Apple CarPlay / Android Auto are massive steps forward and really where things are headed in the future. The voice recognition capabilities and maps / navigation capabilities on phones are far superior to what is included on cars these days, plus they get updated frequently and for free! Plus you can always switch over and use the stock Nav system if you don't want to use your phone, don't have a phone, or are in poor service areas. Can't wait!

I'd like to see the USDM IS350 F-Sport incorporate the same rear-wheel steering technology that's currently available for the JDM versions:

The current GS350 F-Sport and the upcoming RC350 F-Sport has rear-wheel steering so hopefully Lexus USA will decide to add it to the USDM IS350 F-Sport during the refresh cycle.
