Something similar to what BMW and Infiniti offers. The ability to go through all your songs, artists, playlists, etc. on a slick, well integrated interface with displays on both the instrument cluster and headunit.

I wouldn't say that. But it does sound like not till next generation.

Actually they asked us if we would like to see a real LSD in the future. The choice was obvious.

Yes we touched on that as well, they're taking it into consideration.

Make sure they fix the prblems with the 6 speed they have now in the IS250. The one that is int he car is horrible design fly wheel is to heavy single disk clutch. Banging when switching gears and the list goes on.

PLEAASE GIVE US A STOCK EXHAUST THAT DOESNT MAKE THE CAR SOUND LIKE A SOWING MACHINE.........like all infinitis for example in my opinion sound good...they all have a distinct sound ....there are volvos out there that rival the sounds of a stock IS

I know this is late but as I stated in the other thread

- Retain a touch screen Nav system (not like the new 10' RX which uses a "mouse")
(Although if thats the route their going then its inevitable....)
- A smidgen more leg room in the back

motor
more power
an easier to tune motor
faster acting transmission for auto, sick of the lag


looks
don't be so conservative! the IS is your sports line, so act like it!
more of a wide body look (slight, but a little more for an aggressive stance) - why should Nissan/Infinity get all the fun with aggressive offsets?
wheel well gap not so huge, more like stock BMW's, Z's, G's

2) Lower stock suspension.
3) Better exhaust sound, or ANY exhaust sound.
4) Better cold engine note.
5) More communicative steering feel.
6) Dump the green interior lighting for good.
7) More base horsepower.
8) Larger/thicker exhaust tips.
9) Keep the price down.
