I wasn’t even referring to over the air I’m not even hopeful for an update at the dealership. Infiniti put one out for the G37 at some point and vastly improved the transmission performance you just had to take your car to the dealership and they would do it there. I doubt Lexus is willing to do that in this case but I’m hoping they surprise me and do.

It was a bummer they weren't available in the 2017 model since we ended up buying the 2017 IS anyways. I thought we weren't going to get them at all so I wonder what the delay was.

Essentially - Lexus IS was like this:
2014 - New Gen
2015 - Lexus Enform upgraded (Can lock your car and check stuff from phone)
2016 - Lexus IS200T
2017 - Refresh
2018 - F-Sport gets memory Seats + IS350 gets power hike
2019 - Triple LED Beam lights/design freeze.
2020 - The same as 2019.
2021 - New Gen
Lexus IS has been offering something new every year and its quite annoying that did that. For me, no matter how I look at it, every model year delivers some level of buyer remorse to the previous year. =(
I'm still bitter at Lexus for offering these out of the USA since 2017. Its not cool to hold these lights from us till 2019 in order to just draw "new hype" for their latest model year. Sigh. I hope I can order Triple LED Beam lights from my local dealer and put it on my 2018 model.
Agreed. These should have been offered since 2017, like everywhere else in the world.

Memory seats has been offered on the F-Sport package since the 2018 Model Year under the Comfort Package.

I also don't let anyone else drive my car, so it really means nothing to me.

It's available though is my point. I have a '18 IS350 F Sport AWD (in Canada) and got the F Sport package 2 which includes memory seats.

2019 they might add the power folding mirrors LOL, RX, GS and NX has it. Don't see the justification of not having this feature on all their cars. Owning a Lexus is all about compromises for the single benefit of a potentially more reliable car than the competition. My IS200T recently has been going into limp mode (Appt set for weekend) Stock car, in more than a decade of BMW ownership i have never had a car going into limp mode while driving.
