Default 2016 RC350....Changes wanted

Really the main thing holding me back is the headlights...I want the good triple LED ones but us unlucky folks here in the U.S. can't have them...yet. Here's to hoping they are available in 2016.
CarPlay would be great but we all know they are going to milk Entune for a while.

Anything else anyone here is hoping for?

Crazy to think the 2016s will be available in 6 months

Would like to see a large screen and raise it slightly so we can see the bottom. A better seatbelt system. I kinda like the MB E Class coupe - it actually extends out to you!

Electrically folding side mirrors
Less weight (like 200kg less)
More power, more low down torque, and better fuel consumption - a 3 litre twin-turbo would do the job
Illuminated LEXUS plates on door sills (like my IS-250 has)
Restyled tail lights so they don't stick out so much
High resolution 16:9 touch-screen
Do something about the plastic "fake vents" on the rear quarters

Absolutely love my 2015 RC. However, I'd be quite bummed if they offered the tri-L LED headlights within a year of debuting (yes, I know other countries already have them standard). I'm honestly just debating offering cash and swap in the future to someone who buys the car with it standard and doesn't care about it. Any takers on here? 1000 with swap!

Now if we're talking mid-cycle refresh, I would love to see the L-shaped headlights standard, power folding mirrors, bumped up power, bigger nav screen, and an option for cf interior trim like the RC-F.

I thought about buying a 2015 and putting in the triple LED lights afterwards...cost in parts for both $8000. Here's hoping for 2016!

Well I'm going to grant one of your wishes...and it's the first one on your list. You can ask the dealer to activate the feature to Remote Open/Close Windows + Moonroof with Key fob. Just tell them next time you're in the service department.

For 2016, I'd like to see the F-Sport have more horsepower (320 hp?) and include a Limited Slip Differential option, passenger side lumbar support and a panoramic sunroof.
