Potential new RC owner
I've been considering an RC over the past couple of weeks, but had some concerns.
-The existing Navigation system is really dated, especially with someone coming from a BMW. Is there any hope it might be significantly updated soon? It's a shame Toyota hasn't committed to CarPlay/Android Auto (yet?).
-The lack of "real" radar cruise control - the existing cruise control only works above 25mph, and doesn't function in stop and go traffic like the Mercedes/BMW solution does. I sit in a lot of stop and go traffic to/from work and would love this functionality.
-Is there a mid-cycle refresh in store soon?
That being said, i've gotten an offer for a new 2016 RC350 F Sport with Mark Levinson/Navigation, Fog lights and a few options (MSRP of $53K) for 47K. Is that a pretty good deal at the moment?

Also, what were they thinking not making rain-sensing wipers available on the F Sport model? (and the triple-LED headlights would have been nice too - they are available in Canada on 350 models)

This comes from me, with an LS460, so I have had my share of issues with noises (wind noise, windshield tick, headliner rattle, etc.) that are common to the LS. The RC has been absolutely silent so far.
