Default Wish I would of looked for a 2015 IS250F :(

I was looking on the Lexus website and noticed that the 2015 has tons more options then the 2014 model..

Mark Levinson comes with the Navi now
Seat vents come factory
Sport+
Remote App

Not sure what else but these are the big ones. I'm kinda sad I didn't look more and wait for a used 2015 around me. Bought my 2014 IS250 around 2 months ago..

The Sport + is only available on the 350 F & I don't think I've ever seen a 250 (F sport or non) with ML; at least never in my local inventory. May be possible with a custom order. But, you are missing ventilated seats and remote start. Try not to dwell on it and enjoy your car. There are things I wish my car had, but, at the end of the day - I still love it.

F Sport Package
Twin projector LED headlamps
F SPORT 18-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with 225/40R18 (front), 255/35R18 (rear) with summer (RWD) or all-season (AWD) performance tires*
F SPORT exterior styling including front fascia and grille (deletes foglamps), front fender badges
F SPORT suspension tuning
Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with Sport S+ driving mode (IS 350 F SPORT)
LFA-inspired digital instrumentation
F SPORT bolstered and heated front seats
F SPORT perforated leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift ****
Aluminum pedals
Silver Performance interior trim
High-friction brake pads*

FireLexus....Look on the bright side, those of use who will buy the 2015 will likely regret not waiting for the 2016 because it will come out with something new to add. The 2016 owners will regret not wait for the MMC of the 2017 MY, and so on....Don't worry too much about it, just enjoy your great 2014 and don't look back or dwell on the what if's.

I thought ML has always been an option. It comes with Navi pkg now?

ML is an option. I have the Navi package w/o ML. And yes it's a 2015.

The others are correct in that Sport+ only comes on the 350 (variable gas suspension or whatever it's called).

You're 100% correct guys. I do love my car. My first Lexus and don't regret it at all. We just want what we can't have. Lol

^^ I hope you realize that the last part of your statement got me worried. Since I know you can't have me, surely that doesn't mean you want me?! *lol*

Also, you probably got a great deal on a 2014!

Enjoy your awesome car! And if it really bothers you, you can always change it later.

To the OP, as long as you love the car and are satisfied with it that's all it matters! I wanted to buy a 2014, but it didn't work out. So then, I bought a '15 and got the all the benefits of the 15s that 14s lack! At the end of the day, it's still the same car on the outside with minor changes in the inside!
