IMO, the "upgrade" to 2011 would be terribly wasteful, no matter how bad your current nav system is.

Just wait until the new revision. Or at the very least make a real upgrade that you will stick with long term. Buying a new car every three years... sheesh. Not a smart use of money unless you're Lil Wayne or something and have a reputation to keep.

Upgrading to a 2011 wasn't worth it for me. I looked into it but there was not enough to make me spend more money.... I agree with the other posters. If you wanna upgrade grab an 350 or a F. Then you will be upgrading.

If the world doesn't end in 2012, wait it out and get the 3rd gen IS. The slight changes on 2011 does not justify leasing or financing for next 3 -5 yrs.

What difference does it make for you to get a newer car?? Like low mileage or something? A upgrade is getting something that's in a higher class as everyone else sugguested

Upgrade = 350 or F. My sig shows my decision about what to do with my '06 350.

If nav is your only complaint, bite your lip and wait for the 3IS while you save money.
