2017 is
I know it may be kind of early in the year still but has anyone heard/seen any news on the upcoming 2017 IS models? What changes will be made?
I was in the market for the 2016 IS 30 AWD F Sport White/Red interior but decided to wait and see what the 2017s have to offer. Also, the package I wanted, ML sound system, wasn't available at ANY dealerships in the US for that trim so they'd have to special order one for me which would take about 90 days.
Any news/info on the 2017 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Look at the 2016 GS, expect the IS to have a minor face lift like the GS comes MY2017. Probably more aggressive grill and more curves, improve interior (more stitching and the new mouse control). No engine changes for sure.

But not the touch pad. I thought Lexus is running away from it after massive complaints from the RC and NX. I even think they will get rid of them altogether.

I think maybe the headlight and the bumper will change, specially the headlight since they could go with three projectors similar to RC. However the mouse is actually very good in my openion, since I have tried touch screens and I find them to be more distracting and your hand could touch something else in bumpy roads.

Yeah, I don't know why all the hate for the mouse. I find it one of the easiest setups to use. The only complaint was that it took me a month to get 100% used to. Too many people base their opinions off first impressions, and from then on it's written in stone.
I am dying for a little more power. Twin snails IS350 for profit. Maybe 2018 haha. dreams.

BMW 340i - also brand new engine
Toyota would be stupid to not release an engine for the mid cycle update and soldier on w/ a 10 year old unit...

Given that the brand-new-for-2106 RX doesn't have the trackpad, I don't envision them putting it in the IS.
They have reintroduced the side "enter" buttons as an alternative to being able to push the mouse controller down (supports either). I can see this being added to the IS.

it's not like lexus hasn't made stupid decisions before. i mean, the current generation ls is what, a million years old now? pitiful for a marque's flagship.
