My biggest thing is will it be able to be tuned ala the German engines? Will Toyota/Lexus allow people to raise boost levels? History has shown that their ECU's remain pretty uncrackable but will the aftermarket figure it out?

Yes, I'm hoping he was correct. Otherwise you're looking at a 2016 model in 2015, which also marks the 10 year anniversary of the engines too which could also make sense. I'm hoping for the latter though. An 8Auto would also be nice across the board not just the 350.
