Features Outside the US

I found out that a few features I want in the US are already available outside the US.

Power side mirrors standard-

In the Carbon Edition, you get pretty alcantara seats front and back. Although I don't think this is available with the red interior.

Has anyone found any others? I bet these will make it to the US in 2016.

Most likely remote start with the Key fob.

Wouldn't hold your breath to see these items in the USA; they never made it with the ISF despite being offered overseas.

that hump is there due to some countries require the car to be sold with an actual spare rather than the "fix-a-flat" repair kit we get in the States...

US has remote start from the key fob. Hit the lock button three times, holding it down on the third press until you see the turn signals flash.

Doesn't the JDM versions have rear fender and bumper extensions? I believe Joe Z caught them installed on aristott's car. Does anyone have any more information on what these are, and how they are different from the US-spec cars?

*Edit: I found them here http://lexusboutique.net/?pid=1391660

Still trying to figure out the difference. Is it just that little tab piece extended outwards?
