But 2014 NAV can still get remote start, right? I don't need to wait until 2015 models..?

Thanks for the info but sure hoping they arrive before August. My lease is up in July but maybe I can arrange something with the dealer.

Let us know if you hear anything else on colors or options!

Awesome news!

I'm assuming remote start will be an option (or possibly included in some package), not standard, correct?

Thank you for sharing. I look forward to what sort of enhancements the 2015 model offers.

You can do month to month leasing too. We've had several guests do this once their initial lease was up because they liked the car or needed more time before another purchase

I am hoping that I can do this and that they will give me a deal similar to the outgoing '14 models (probably not) because my husband says I need to go with the cheapest option

I am going to be fit to be tied if they do and the husband puts his foot down that I have to get a '14 model to save money

Are you saying remote start will NOT be available for 2014 with NAV? This is so not what my sales rep told me....

Will 2015 have cooled seats and memory features on the F Sport?

I would love to know if the USB is available for 2015 as well!
I'm almost done working with a dealership selling me an IS250 F-S for $38000 or less, but if the USB is available in August...I might just hold on to my $!!!

I find this confusing. I understand regular remote start won't work with the 2014 nav. model. But you mentioned an enform suite update. Wouldn't this unlock the same feature for all nav and why would't this update work for specific 2014? Isn't enform suite exclusive to all nav model?

I just picked my car up this Saturday and my rep told me that it would work with my FSport with NAV. He stated the ETA was sometime in the Fall. I don't believe they really "know" anything concrete though.
