I'm assuming a newer array of color choices and a different spoke design for the wheels.

I'm hoping they improve the sound quality of the handsfree phone feature. I hate mine.

Well ur not the only one, Beef. My 2014 Accord that half the price of the GS with crappy sound system has better phone sound quality. It's using all 4 speakers Vs. ours just using 1 I think, that's why it sounds horrible.

The 2016 will have a new front clip with the full spindle grill, new headlights, new wheels, revised rear styling (at least taillights, maybe more)...it'll be worth waiting for if you can wait.

If you want an idea of what it will look like, check out the latest GS-F teaser pictures. The GS350 in both regular and F Sport trim will have a different bumper, but the general idea will be the same.

The GS normally has a 7 year model cycle.
Because the current 4GS was released February 2012, expect the mid-life update to be at the 3.5 year mark; so around September 2015 - only 9 months away...

I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced the mouse with a touch pad ala the RC. I haven't driven one, but I hope it's an improvement.
