My understanding is that the turbo lines will be all 200t designations. First time I've heard of the GS using the motor though. Again, this is all speculation.

When will the 2016 RC be available? Trying to decide whether to buy now or wait for the 2016.

Ditto

Also - more headroom (or lower seats) - I'm 5 11 and almost touch the roof. My 6 3 son has to drive with the sunroof shade open and still is almost touching the glass!

A few other things:
- electric handbrake like the NX
- more power or less weight
- cup holders in the rear
- smaller owners manual so it doesn't take up half the glove box!
- bigger Sat Nav screen - 9 or 10 inch is the norm for the euro competitors
- heated steering wheel and windscreen de-icer for non AWD versions

They should have all F Sports include a BBK for front and REAR. Just like how Infiniti has it for their S line. The large front caliper without a rear not a good look.

I have asked quite a few dealers (JM in Florida the largest in USA and Ray Catena in NJ, 2nd largest in USA) and they are not sure. Usually the newer models arrive by late September/October.I am waiting to see if there are any changes at all? Once information becomes available I will decide either to special order the 2016 or go with the 2015 if dealers have them in the configuration that I want.

Would like one-touch shortcuts, to dial phone numbers, on the phone screen, or preferably full access to one's phone-book while car is in motion. Would also like the older touch switch "mouse" format to control the screen functions, which are more definitive, and less distracting than the motion controlled mouse. It's time for weight reduction materials and other measures to improve the gas mileage & performance. A 360-degree camera is also due.

Well, after owning my Ultra White RC 350 F Sport, it looks like I'm not the only one wanting power folding mirrors, led L shaped turn signals, etc. I'd have to say the Mark Levinon needs some work too. I play mp3 cd's and it being on volume 30, it just doesn't have that kick or crisp detailed quality like my Bose did in my Acura. Other things I'd like to see change is a digital clock in navigation or on dash, speedometer like the RC-F with old school speed gauge, and also a new way to put the car in park instead of using your foot like you're killing a bug! A nicer exhaust note wouldn't hurt too ��

Wow, it's mid-Sept. and still no news of any changes/tweaks to the 2016 year model? Why is Lexus so quiet? Maybe there are no changes at all?

I would like the RC to drop 5-600 lbs so that it sits @ 3300-3400 lbs @ 306 hp. It would make this car have even better handling and owners would be able to enjoy the v6 to another degree.

***major wish, probably will never happen LOL

I know right? I will be going to my dealer this Friday and possibly order a 16. I will share what I learn if anything is different on the 350.

Scratch that. Just put a deposit down on a 15 AWD F Sport in USB 2.0 and Rioja red that is 99% my specifications, so no waiting.
