Premeditated was wrong choice of words, meant unintended act, like driving while under the influence. According to your link, that doesn't appear to be the case. Premeditated hints at malicious intent - sorry about that. Also apologize for going OT. Back to our regular programming . . .

I don't see anything wrong with your 3 points. Mine would be:

1) Lexus to make boot open up more when poping.

2) Lexus to make better oem body kit which are "more" ground lowering then current ones.

3) Use of harder leathered seats.

Personally, I wouldn't want my console cluttered with additional buttons. I rarely use the button, and it's pretty easy to reach by feel. If you drive in PWR all the time, then it won't matter. Maybe it becomes APITA if you want to drive in SNOW constantly, since you have to hit the button on every startup.

They switched to Turanzas because the Potenzas they were using were discontinued. Mine came with Turanzas, but if u can find another IS in the lot with Potenzas make them switch it like I did.

That makes no sense--they switched to a Touring tire b/c a High Performance tire was discontinuted? Tire Rack shows plenty more High Performance tires to chose from, if that's the case

What's the joke about the harder leather seats? I actually like the IS's soft leather. I had an ES that had harder leather, and it wasn't uncomfortable, it just wasn't as comfortable as the IS. I could sleep in these IS seats not that I would - too cold to sleep outside in October...now if it were July or August maybe.

Let's not hope for Ford quality leather, or we just might get it! The leather in the Lexus is fantastic, IMO.
