Default 2017 changes
Does anyone have an idea what will be changing on the IS 350F sport in 2017? I've researched and I cant find much. Is the expectation that there is a new engine in the works or massive body changes?

In most cases you do not.

They want to sell 2016 if they announce something better for the year after it could really hurt their sales.

HP isn't the only thing that matters. Did MPG improve? I would settle for a 5mpg increase with no HP increase.

Mileage did improve, but only by a very small amount:

2015 RWD: 19/29/23
2016 RWD: 20/29/23

2015 AWD: 19/26/21
2016 AWD: 19/27/22
