maybe he wants it in the same location as the non expensive cars...right under the disk changer, although its easier to connect your devices, it looks tacky...keep ALL ports hidden

 

Or MAYBE just maybe I want it in an inconspicuous spot on the side of the center stack, where the cable would not be in the way,

 

I want mine wirelessly charged and connected to the car

 

Hid fogs with the option of just having the fog lights on...

 

the aux just needs to moved lower or something, the location its in puts mad stress on the wire so the damn thing shorts after couple months because the head is pinched to one side.

 

Of you can buy a 90 degree 3.5 adapter for $2

My Belkin car kit is nearly 5 years old now, using an aux cable with a 90 degree radio shack adapter on it, still works perfectly.

 

I don't really see what's so unrealistic about the idea of them putting in a bit more power. I think it'll at least happen as a refresh within a couple years of releasing the next gen IS, even if it doesn't happen right at launch.

 

Has Lexus ever went the forced induction route? I'm no car expert but I cant think of one Lexus that has had a turbo or supercharger from the factory...with the new M3 arriving that may change but I doubt if itll be added to the base IS...but it is a WISHLIST so if you want it, post it!

 

I agree with most people here.

Redesign center console for more/better placement of cup holders.
Better placement of Aux ports
6MT available in 350 trim and higher
Supercharger option.

 

Mute button on the steering wheel ( yes i know about holding MODE for 3 looong seconds-too long)

 

A bit more power isn't unrealistic (though the new GS reusing the same engine doesn't point that way)

Forced induction on the other hand is more questionable....though it's something I'd love to be wrong about, not only has Lexus not used it in USDM vehicles ever, Toyota in general has put a lot of effort into making cars (since the supra especially) as un-moddable as possible performance wise... and factory forced induction is sorta the opposite of that.

I dunno, CAFE might force them that direction I guess, since they can mostly keep it out of boost for the EPA testing... but I don't think it's a direction they'd choose on their own if they had any choice about it.

 

It doesn't necessarily have to be forced induction (although that seems like it would be the best and most practical route going forward). Just more power in any form.


I suppose it would be a first, yeah, but like you said, that may be their best/only option before long. A few years ago, I bet no one ever thought BMW would put a 4-banger in a North American 3-series.

 

power folding side mirrors would be neat

 

Did any of the items on our wish list come true?

 

More powerful engine... to justify price tag lol
