Default 2016 RC - Wish list

Auto folding outside mirrors.
LED turn signals.
Premium Triple LED Headlights.
Better shape of back lights.
More choices of Rims. In north east, we have long winter and pot holes, low profile rims look great and I get the performance aspect, however, more rubber on tires works better for our roads.
More interior color choices - don't like all black dash, my 2G, IS 250 AWD with Lux package has a nice split or black on top and cashmere lower half dash, looks premium and more up-scale.

Doesn't the RC already come with LED turn signals? I could've sworn I saw a video review that showed the LED turn signals being yellow LED strips right above the DRLs, similar to what Audi does.

I don't think the rear tail trun lamps are LED, might be just the front.

I don't believe we have LED turn signals in the front or rear.

I think the headlights are the same shape when I compared the two side by side.

I'm sure power folding mirrors are feasible. That's something I'm looking into

I also would like a lighter color headliner. The current offerings makes the interior look way too dark.

I believe the front led turn signals come with the premium triple led headlight that are not available for RC 350/350 F Sports in USA. I was watching a video from Australia where I saw that. It is unfortunate that Lexus is not offering this to us in USA?

I also noticed that the gas lid is push to open? I don’t think that is really secure. Why did Lexus opt for this? My 2G IS250 AWD has a button inside the car to open the gas lid cover, much more secure that way.

The gas lid is push to open when the car is unlocked. Otherwise it is locked. Same concept as keeping your doors locked/unlocked

Premium Triple LED Headlights.

New suspension to even wheel gap between the front and rear. The AWD models especially have a much higher gap between the front wheels and the wheel wells compared to the rear. The RWD models are not as bad but they are still higher in the front by a little bit. It makes the car look like you are constantly carrying something heavy in the back.

Only the triple led headlights ( RcF comes in standard with it I believe ) come with the front led swoosh turn signals other wise the standard dual projectors only have turn signals located between the projectors.

My wish list is only one thing....more power. This car should be at least 350hp. Especially the F-Sport.
