Default 2015 differences?

Does anyone know what changes have been made to the 2015 CT. Looking at a new car, and deciding if I need to wait, or if a good deal on a 2014 is worth doing it now. I can't see anything on the exterior, and nothing seems to stand out as different on the interior, but Lexus marketing pics aren't all that reliable as a resource

Thank you! Not much new that I would use, so maybe I'll see what I can do with a 2014.

Are you happy with the CT? I'm concerned about the lack of power/acceleration and how well it works in light to medium snow. I can't fix the (severe) lack of power, but I plan to get good winter tires.

damn.. siri would be cool if we can retrofit on earlier models

I wonder why Lexus/Toyota are never on apple's carplay announcement or website, wouldn't it be nice for apple to announce to the world for them too

Sounds like the 2015 isn't that much different...2014 was a big year of change...I'd go for the 2014. The power is plenty...I never feel like I don't have enough. Winter tires are a good idea...

Yea, the 2015 is basically just a chance for Lexus to update the car. 2014 is where they made all the changes they needed to from feedback they got on the 2011-2013s.

If you put a CT in Sport mode, you shouldn't feel any lack of power. It's not a fast car, but it can definitely keep up with traffic except for people who gun their high-power cars.

I have zero experience with winter tires, but I will mention that I did notice at the tirerack.com site that they sell LRR winter tires.
