Oh boy, let me do my list in the correct form this time...

1. Don't release 3IS until maybe 2014...2015 is more preferable
2. Minor updates only until then....
3. Keep the value of my 2IS high =)
4. Thank you very much Lexus Corporation!!! Please listen to me only. =)

I just want a 350 coupe with a manual tranny. If they had that, I'd trade mine in a heartbeat!

Make it into a hatchback, only comes in hybrid, 15'' wheels, single exhaust, and Acura TL grill.

Sincerely,
2IS owner.

1. sportier styling/more masculine styling as the 2IS has been accused on many occassions as being a check car (no offense)
2. offer a double clutch option
3. offer a true sport option
4. bring back active headlights
5. make the car just a tad larger (for all of us that need a 4 door because of kids but love the sport car/sedan segment)
6. offer more interior color options, instead of black, tan, and grey. (take a page from BMW and Mercedes)
7. offer a better designed/looking steering wheel (it just doesn't look sporty)

Super wish list...
1. incorporate a sequential turbo like the Supra TT had back in the days for a mid-life refresh and offer it as an "f sport" option
2. make the next gen is-f with a 4.3 v-8 turbo or 4.0 inline 6 twin turbo

Don't agree with #5, that's what the GS is for. No need to make bulky cars bulkier. Remember the 5 series from say 15 years ago or so? Yeah, the 3 series today is that size and the 5 series grew to 7 series size and 7 series today is a boat. Do we need to continue this trend? I don't think so. Buy GS.

1. Coupe!!!
2. DCT option (at least for F-sport model) with real paddle shifters
3. 8-speed transmission
4. More and/or two-tone interior color choices (eg red seat w/ black interior or two tone seat color etc)
