Next Generation IS Wishlist....

Good day guys and gals, forgive me if this thread already exists (mods please close it if that's the case). Most of us are pretty satisfied after having our IS's from either 2006 or for some of you this past year. However, over the years of driving my IS, which I am now at 164k miles, I must say that there are some things that I wish the next generation IS would have or at least be improved from the current model. Maybe some corporate folks will take the consumer thoughts into consideration before the final plans are done (Yeah RIght, right
). With that being said, THIS IS NOT A RANT POST, but rather a collage of ideas about the next generation IS that would definitely get me to get another one in a year or so, or whenever they release the new one.
Oh, BTW please keep it on topic and realistic, no turbo, supercharger, air ratio talk...I know some of you are optimistic but "I" doubt Lexus goes that route even if we all want more power.
My Wish List...
1. Shocks that last past 50k
2. A mean front fascia, "IMO" BMW's front fascia's are aggressive, whereas ours without an aftermarket lip looks like the cars on the old Chevron commercials, just happy and fast.
3. Better windshield, or maybe its my driving.
4. Seat coolers that actually cool your seat.
5. Instrument Cluster with no LED needles.
6. Better projectors on the headlights.
7. New dash material, that lasts and lasts.
8. Bigger rear brakes.
9. An engine that growls, not necessarily a V8, but just tuning the engine and incorporating the intake and exhaust to give the new IS an incredible remarkable sound.
Uh, I think that's it, everyone has different taste so my list may not be your cup of tea, but sound off below and let us know what you want....

2. To each his own. Personally i like 2IS design better than 3 series.
3. My windshield has 120k on it as well and has no cracks at all and still looks pretty good. Although i have quite a few chips from highway driving.
4. Our seats are not cooled they are ventilated.
5. LED needles look really good. Maybe they could improve the quality and make them last longer.
6. I think they are ok.
7. Although i don't have this problem, but YES.
8. They won't help you to stop the car any better so it just aesthetics. You have an option of getting F sport brakes.
9. Most of IS buyers want just quite and smooth ride. IS delivers it. Incredible, remarkable sound? Get IS-F.

I have to agree with this ^^^.
And i think there is already a lengthy thread on all this too.
