Default ...possible 2010 options?

So this may be a little early to start talking about 2010 but I was curous to get your thoughts. Currently you can order Sat radio but not concurrently with the factory iPod option. Do you guys think that 2010 will have an option where both will be compatible? I am aware that you can have an aftermarket product put in from VAISTECH but I was curious to know if you think Lexus will offer this option through the factory pretty much like all of the other car manufacturers do.

Also, do you guys think that xm nav traffic will be available for 2010 or a HDD nav system?

Lastly, I think it would be nice to have more interior leather color choices and more interior trim choices. Personally, I prefer to have "black" carbon fiber and not the silver one and I also prefer to have real carbon fiber as trim instead of the silver "carbon fiber weave" interior trim that they currently have.

Just some of my thoughts...what are your thoughts?

I would like to see the IS-F see more options to allow it to have more sportiness. Such as deletes of major components such as rear seats, A/C and Radio/NAV. Anything to save weight. Maybe like the M3 have more Aluminum and Carbon Fiber components.

Don't get me wrong I love the luxury and electronics in my car but the car drives like it needs a diet.

How about electronically adjustable suspension? People who say that the car is too stiff would appreciate that. And also option to leave the car in sport mode without having to keep toggling to it at startup.

Now that I'm thinking about it a little more, I think Lexus may do a mid-life refreshening of the IS-F like they did to the ISx50. I'd prefer the tailights to stay the same but maybe the front can be freshened up a little. The wheels actually look fine so maybe they don't need to change that.

I guess really, I would like to see some more interior options and trim choices.

Ditto.

Back to the whole conversation on the key fobs. Wouldn't they be able to lock the gears out at start up if the fob wasn't within say 50 ft? That would make it less worrisome than starting it knowing anyone could drive away even if they didn't have a fob.

Sadly, I just figured that out a couple of weeks ago...lol. Lucky my F didn't drive away without me in it.

Pay attention.

You asked for suggestions for '10 options and I suggested one that would be nice to have. We've already had the discussion so there is no question to be answered.

...back to what conversation on the key fobs...?. This is a thread about possible options for 2010 and not a thread about key fobs.

Maybe you meant to say back to the conversation about options in 2010. I have a suggestion about ...key fobs... but the way your reply came across makes it look like you're trying to hijack the thread.

It would be nice if for '10, that when you exited your F with the car running that the gears would not be able to be engaged if the key fob was not within x number of feet....unlike now where as soon as the vehicle is started anyone can drive away with the car, regardless of whether a fob is present.

Clear enough.

Whoa, stop fighting people. Jesus would be angry.
Lets just say, everyones on topic.
Continue on or go to your corners.

I think they should add LED interior lights, all of them.

Do you want a tissue?
