Yes that is the typical turnover month for MY turnover at the factory for Lexus..

Usually lands at the dealership by end of August or begining of Sept.

thanks for validating Joe Z.
question: when I bought my Camaro, specs for the new model came out well ahead of order date. Like the OP, I would like to know how soon I can find out what the '15 MY has coming, so I can make a decision on waiting or not.
Does anyone here on the boards get and post this info ahead of the official release?

Besides some small interior trim options.. What kind of other changes are you expecting ?

I don't see much changing for MY15 ..

For example the 2006 & 2007 IS went virtially unchanged (added shark fin antenna 07')
2008 had some minor package updates and gunmetal wheel finish..
2009 saw some bumper & light refresh .. etc etc etc all the way to 2013

But nothing ground breaking as you can see..

I would think there are more changes in F Sport than non F Sport models. Probably features such as memory seat, power telescoping, park sensors, rain-sensing wipers become available for F Sport models to respond to customers' requests. Or simply no much changes until mid-cycle.

the 2014 doesn't have a USB port?

I was also hoping the F sport would get the rain sensing wipers, etc.

I was hoping the navigation models would get remote start as well...
