Default Changes for 2016 IS
Do anyone know what changes might happen to the 2016 IS? Will be the midcycle change?

Why not a turbo 350 V6? That would be sweet.

~450HP Turbo V6 would make me turn my 14 350 in for a new one.

Great question, but I really don't want to know since I plan on selling my '14 I350 F Sport in 2016. I have my eyes set on a BMW F80. ))))

I really like the new 3IS F Sports now but with a refresh in a few years I'll wait it out.

Hoping to get the new engine and that sexy *** color Ultrasonic Blue Mica when and if it comes to the U.S

I wonder if it's going to be drastic. The 2nd gen platform lasted awhile before major changes.

the only change I really want is the navi mouse click thing to the remote touch like in the RC and NX
is that most likely going to be in the MMC?
please phase out the mouse click thing

if i recall correctly, the 2nd gen didn't get its midcycle refresh until 2010, which was its 5th year in production.

it started with the '09 model's rear lights, then '10 they ditched the DVD nav for HDD based, and finally '11 they did the exterior upgrade along with bring in the F Sport package.
