Default Any updated speculation on 08 IS250/350?

Now that we know about the IS-F, anybody want to speculate about the other IS's for 08? I am hoping for a coupe offering, maybe revised center console so the non-navigation will look better, maybe bluetooth for ther non-nav. I would think there would be at least some subtle changes.

Maybe realtime XM traffic since they already have it on the LS and the Infiniti G35 also has that?

Hard-drive based Nav instead of DVD based Nav system? I think they already have that in Japan for the IS.

I'm thinking the new guage cluster that the IS-F has will be what changes for 2008. I'm hoping a sport seat option will be available, too. I also have a feeling they'll offer 50/50 split rear seats and a coin tray.

Too early to tell.

However, from the technology that is out, XM Real Traffic and hard drive nav system seems feasable, but it may take more than a year to add it to the IS, just to make it more "exclusive" to the more expensive Lexus sedans/SUVs.

Yeah I think the outside of the car will stay the same and they will only adress the "flaws" of our cars now.

Nah. We'd have heard about it by now I think.
